Data were obtained from fieldwork conducted in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2008 and 2009. Findings revealed that the cutting edge of coalition politics was not located at the nexus of immigration and race but centered instead on emerging affinities and tensions between gay rights and immigrant rights advocates. Findings indicated that coalition building at the intersection of immigration and sexuality remains a vibrant area of political mobilization. Findings and implications are discussed in detail.
