AB This project offers a possible analysis of American gay drama by taking its most representative characters as the focal point. A suggestion on a methodological approach for these characters is presented before the character analysis properly starts, so that readers are free to judge whether it should be applied to the rest of the plays belonging to this genre or not. It is also worth mentioning that some plays have not been subject to much previous critical analysis, which enriches the conclusion of this project. A special emphasis is put on how these characters represent the struggle of the gay individual with the homophobic society they belong to. Therefore, by observing how they cope with the heteronormative world, it is easier to frame and appreciate the gay identity. Finally, an understanding of this sexual identity is offered, paying significant attention to its long-denied, and still not granted, social place.
