Abstract: In this article, I present a short story in three acts about a group of Barbadian queens (effeminate gay men) and their romantic liaisons with a group of Jamaican men.I will argue that this small scale "drama" tells us a great deal about how intimacy, sexual relationships and a relatively new form of communications technology?the cell phone?areconstituted and inter-related in the Anglo-Caribbean, which in turn speak to larger issues of same-sex sexual identity and desire, the role and significance of technology, and the complex relationship between globalization and local cultural practices.
