First of all, this is really off-topic here, and you are probably
better off asking
on a nginx list. Having said that, we regularly use nginx with
gunicorn, and what
you need to do is
* Set up an upstream server that defines the TCP/Unix domain socket that
  gunicorn is listening on. Something like:
   upstream app_server {
        server 127.0.0.1:80 fail_timeout=0;
    }
* Then, proxy to the app_server, e.g.,
       location @proxy_to_app {
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Protocol https;
            proxy_redirect off;
            proxy_buffering off;
            proxy_pass   http://app_server;
        }

There are many detailed write-ups available by searching Google: See, e.g.,

Please show actual nginx configuration on the nginx mailing list rather than
pseudo-examples like this. Nobody can tell what you are actually trying.
