GAY OR STUPID? ONE’S STILL AN INSULT

Not acrdg to an appellate urt Albany, which last week issued a lg that s judicial effect stripped the word “gay” of any rogatory nnotatn.

Say I chose to live my life as a telenovela and cid to break up my bt iend’s weddg by announcg a rehearsal dner toast that her hband was gay. While the cisn clearly reflects the ias and opns of an creasgly enlightened cizenry, might also be said to speak to the evolvg etymology of the term gay self.

ARE GAY PEOPLE SMARTER THAN STRAIGHT PEOPLE?

” It might be gay to wear Pumas a place where Converse high-tops are the rage, or gay of a teacher to assign a 10-page say on “Budnbrooks” three days before Christmas. Ten years ago, on an e-mail list dited to issu of lguistics, an extensive nversatn got gog over whether the word gay had morphed specifilly to meang “stupid.

A DAD’S ADVICE TO NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS: DON’T E GAY AS AN SULT

But New York, where teenagers who have grown up wh gay parents, iends, nts and s are perhaps thicker on the ground than most plac, perhaps we’ve entered a new phase, where gay has simply reverted to meang homosexual, a term so unremarkable is livered wh the easit ntraly.

Some unscientifilly gathered evince suggts that we might week, Ey Kers, 14, a stunt at the Baclreate School for Global Edutn Astoria, Queens, told my lleague Juliet Lrman that she’d grown offend by the discrimate e of the term gay. “A lot of kids say, ‘You’re really gay’ bee they thk that’s what an adult would do, ” Agn Guillo, a seventh grar, explaed to me. ” A boy named En Stern-Rodriguez, 16, was there wh a group of high school iends, all of whom stood adamantly agast any extrapolated of the term gay whatsoever.

“There are people who live my hoe who are gay, ” En told me, explag that his mother’s bt iend lived wh his fay and that if he ever referred to anyone as gay, would be bee they were, fact, homosexual. A versn of this article appears prt on, Sectn MB, Page 1 of the New York edn wh the headle: Gay or Stupid?

MARA GAY: PRO-TMP AMERINS ARE STUPID, IGNORANT, NEFAR

Of the 24 wners this year, at least three are openly gay, meang gay people are signifintly overreprented among the geni pool. The news has led some to speculate that gay geni outnumber straight on, proportnally, the populatn at large. Last year, Satoshi Kanazawa argued the Journal of Bsocial Science that gay people are typilly born wh more telligence than the average heterosexual.

Some scientists speculate that the same geic factors that e homosexualy one genr also duce hyperfertily the other, a theory lled sexually antagonistic selectn. A gay man might be at an evolutnary ad end, other words, but his sisters will be blsed wh extreme fecundy, more than makg up the balance.

This would lead more telligent gay people to e out while leavg dumber gay people the closet, thereby pletely skewg the data. Gay upl are more likely to have higher hoehold and llege gre than straight upl—two possible proxi for telligence. Gay men llege, moreover, have higher-than-average GPAs and are signifintly more likely to participate extracurricular activi.

Here, aga, an alternative explanatn seems highly persuasive: Gay people might jt work harr than their heterosexual unterparts. Startg childhood, most gay people are acutely aware of the challeng they’ll face, the roadblocks they’ll enunter, the discrimatn they’ll battle.

GAY CULTURE HAS GROWN TOXIC WH UNCHECKED PRIVILEGE. IT'S TIME FOR TO RET

Gays born to small towns—which tend toward homophobia—unrstand early on that they mt pe orr to fd acceptance. Wh this nstant threat of bigotry the background, is any wonr that gay people strive for good gras and great jobs?

Gay upl plan well for their fancial futur not bee they’re brilliant money managers, but bee they have ltle to no social safety . Before the fall of DOMA, many gay upl uldn’t share health surance, and none uld share Social Secury benefs. Gays might be overreprented the “geni” pool—and the Ivy League, and the Fortune 500—but there are more than enough dumb gays to even out the numbers.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

If we’re gog to sist that gay love is no different om straight love, we’ll have to accept that gay bras are no better, or worse, than straight on. As the Gay & Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn (GLAAD) pots out, bisexual people are often acced of beg more promiscuo than non-bisexual people bee they are attracted to both men and women. "Bisexual people are jt as pable of formg monogamo relatnships as heterosexual, gay, and lbian people.

This stereotype dat back to the word "gay" self, which had origally been ed to scribe someone who was overly cheerful, loud, and happy. A 2017 survey for Attu magaze polled around 5, 000 gay, queer, or bisexual men—and a staggerg 69 percent of them admted that their sexual orientatn ma them feel ls mascule at some pot their liv.

Many of those surveyed also poted to the fact that gay men are still not reprented fairly the media, which has only add to this one-note stereotype.

HOW GAY ARE YOU?

In recent s, anti-gay protters have asserted that gay men pose a great danger to society, cg that sexual predators and pedophil are more likely to be gay men.

However, as the UC Davis rearchers pot out, gay men and women only acunt for ls than one percent of all moltatn s which an adult was intified.

That’s the qutn I wrtled wh as I nsoled my 7-year-old son who was cryg bee an olr kid the neighborhood kept llg him gay. That means g “gay” as an sult, tellg someone they “throw like a girl” and llg someone a “retard” is banned our fay.

They know our gay iends, they have gay relativ they love, and we discs on a route basis why ments such as those are so hurtful. So, when my son heard olr kids he looks up to g gay as an sult, a part of him wonred if his idol was right.

I also remd him that many people around him might be gay or qutng their sexualy and asked him how he thks they’d feel if everyone ed gay as a pejorative.
