Their research focuses on how the ongoing commercialization,[1] commodification and gentrification[2] of queer physical space (i.e., ‘gay ghettos’) and queer virtual space affects sexual experiences among gay, bisexual and queer men (GBQM). Their research also looks at the impact of criminal justice and public health interventions, as well as the stigmatisation, marginalisation and oppression of GBQM by contemporary gay culture.[3]

Frederick's research takes a critical stance towards current criminal justice policies and public health strategies that target gay, bisexual, and queer male drug users.
