These attitudes in skateboarding made myself and many other queer people feel isolated, causing most to never begin learning. It was not until the last few years when queer skateboarding groups began emerging, through social media, that formal spaces were being created within skateboarding for queer people by queer people. Skateboarding is an extremely prolific and visual culture. Skaters have always identified themselves as skaters by their art, music, clothes, language, hair, and bodies. So what is this new generation of queer skateboarders supposed to do? Are they supposed to wear brands and adopt a vernacular from a subculture that did not always welcome them? As a response, they are developing their own visual identifiers like skateboard graphics and clothing. These groups are subverting objects that belong to and were created by skateboarding and are using them to signal to other queer people that skateboarding is for them too.
