After a ndlelight memorial was held Mumbai over the weekend, outraged amics, supporters, gays and ncerned cizens have started an onle signature mpaign mandg jtice the ath of Dr Srivas Ramchandra Siras, the gay profsor om the Aligarh Mlim Universy (AMU).

In a cur twist to the ntroversy surroundg the ath of a gay AMU profsor, his cellphone has gone missg even as a se of crimal trpass has been lodged agast six persons, cludg four senr AMU officials. Explorg personal wrgs, stunt perdils, and amic documents between the late 1960s and the 1990s, I argue that teractns between gay profsors and their stunts illumate an ambiguo affectnate relatnship where the closens was based jt as much on different generatnal sensibili as the dividuals themselv.

THE REAL GAY PROFSOR

In his book Trailblazg: The Te Story of Ameri's First Openly Gay Track Coach, he had even referenced the show, sayg that a gay guy havg sex wh a woman before he’s out is like watchg "Gilligan’s Island" – you don’t know why you’re dog , but you do anyway. Luckily, he had already fished wrg his next book, In The Game: Gay Athlet and the Cult of Masculy, due out January, and had already settled his teachg plans for the tumn – a new job at State Universy of New York at Stony Brook.

”A new study makg wav among LGBTQ-foced amics lends empiril crence to the inic Act Up -founr’s priful claims — not to the supposed sweepg superry of gay men, rather to the more narrow assertn that this group is remarkably cled to excel the paper, which was published the Amerin Soclogil Review on Feb. Courty Amy LevJoel Mtleman, a Universy of Notre Dame soclogist and the paper’s sole thor, found that on an array of amic measur, gay mal outperform all other groups on average, across all major racial groups. “This article is focg a lens on what we do to all kids, ” Lisa Diamond, a psychology profsor at the Universy of Utah, said of the societal prsur that appear to impe lbians school even as the strsors possibly unnerve gay mal to pensatg for homophobia through amic strivg.

The three surveys of Amerin adults nsistently dited that gay men are far more likely than straight men to have graduated om high school or llege, wh jt over half of gay men havg earned a llege gree, pared wh about 35 percent of straight men. What’s more, gay men’s llege graduatn rate dramatilly bts even that of straight women, about one-third of whom have a bachelor’s longudal survey showed that pared wh their straight male peers, gay mal earned higher GPAs high school and llege, enrolled harr class, took school more serly, had more amilly md iends and had a much lower rate of ever droppg out for a month or more.

But as nstrictns on women’s potential have eased sce the 1960s, straight women’s llege graduatn rate has risen to the pot of statistil pary wh lbians among today’s young Nancy Drew effect Searchg for the drivers of the differenc school performance between straight and gay stunts, Mtleman ed a mache-learng algorhm to intify rponse patterns to survey qutns that predicted beg male vers female among members of the longudal hort. “Girls who prent as mascule are seen as troublemakers, are seen as spic some way, ” Mtleman ‘Bt Ltle Boy the World’ phenomenon An addnal factor that Mtleman argued driv the average gay boy to surpass even the average straight girl amilly is what’s known queer psychology as the “Bt Ltle Boy the World” phenomenon.

This refers to the tle of the 1973 memoir by former Democratic Natnal Commtee treasurer Andrew Tobias, which he chronicled his youthful csa to appease his ternalized homophobia through admissn to Harvard Universy and other feats of superlative a 2013 paper published Basic and Applied Social Psychology, psychologist Mark Hatzenbuehler, now of Harvard Universy, and Pachankis found evince suggtg that gay male llege stunts ed sought to pensate for anti-gay stigma by rivg their self-worth part through amic mastery and other forms of petn. This psychologil paradigm also pris the bedrock of “The Velvet Rage, ” psychologist Alan Downs’ go-to bible for queer men, published 2005, on “overg the pa of growg up gay a straight man’s world.

ARE AMICS DISPROPORTNATELY GAY?

”An analysis by the Brookgs Instutn’s Haton Project published January found that gay male upl earn $30, 000 more annually than lbian Meyer, a rearcher at UCLA’s Williams Instute, exprsed trigue over the story Mtleman’s paper tells of many gay men apparently overg nsirable odds. Meyer poted to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventn’s Youth Risk Behavr Surveillance reports that have chronicled the myriad strsors lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr young people weather school and the lany of leter impacts, cludg prsn and, Mtleman found that on the whole, lbian, gay and bisexual young people reported feelg more unsafe school and suffered higher levels of discrimatn and what’s known as mory strs than their straight peers.

Suggtg that feverish amic strivg search of validatn n e at a steep st to mental and physil health, Mtanski poted to his own rearch fdgs that gay men have disproportnately high levels of chronic flammatn. Notg what an overwhelmgly unsafe place school still is for many queer kids, Wilson further utned the public not to nclu, for example, “that a poor Black gay boy livg Montgomery or Mobile, Alabama, feme-prentg and genr-nonnformg, is actually succeedg high school right now.

GAY AT HLS: A BRIEF HISTORY

“Concealable Stigma and Occupatnal Segregatn: Toward a Theory of Gay and Lbian Occupatns” origally was published by Admistrative Science Quarterly and featured recently  the London School of Enomics and Polil Science's Bs Review blog. Buildg on their earlier study of gay and straight workers, as well as the existg lerature on ncealable stigmas and stigma management, the thors veloped several hypoth about why certa kds of jobs -- cludg faculty posns -- reportedly employ a disproportnate number of gay men and women.

Task pennce is likely to be particularly important for lbian and gay workers, the thors predicted, bee “they tend to see workers and supervisors as the most mon source of potential mistreatment and discrimatn the workplace.

In their 2014 workg paper on occupatnal skills and preferenc relative to sexual orientatn, Tilcsik, Anteby and Knight found that those survey rponnts who intified as gay or lbian dited a stronger preference for jobs which they would “work penntly om workers” and “acplish tasks whout pendg too much on other people.
