Lyndon K. Gill foregrounds a queer presence in foundational elements of Trinidad and Tobago's national imaginary—Carnival masquerade design, Calypso musicianship, and queer HIV/AIDS activism—to show how same-sex desire provides the means for the nation's queer population to develop survival and community building strategies.
