’s work—which poss that cultural, societal, and dividual stigmas tend to margalize LGBT lears—we argue that pared wh heterosexual lears, gay and lbian lears will be perceived as ls-effective lears by their followers and receive ls nformy to their fluence attempts (Blashill & Powlishta 2009; Herek, 2007, 2008).

THE STORY OF BAYARD RT, OPENLY GAY LEAR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Therefore, gay lears’ genr prentatn may modify the effects of their same-sex sexual orientatn on followers’ learship perceptns and behavrs, such a way that gay lears who appear to be feme tend to be perceived as ls effective and receive ls nformy to their fluence attempts than gay lears who appear to be mascule. Empiril evince the LGBT lerature shows that feme gay mal were perceived more negatively than mascule gay mal by predomately heterosexual mal and femal (Blashill & Powlishta, 2009; Lehavot & Lambert, 2007), suggtg a plsible tersectn between gay lears’ sexual orientatn and their genr addn, lbian lears who behave a mascule way fall unr stereotyp about lbians, and are believed to be ls effective than lbian lears who behave femely (Lehavot & Lambert, 2007), bee the former vlat lear genr role stereotyp and junctive norms (i.

As noted earlier, due to homophobia towards gay and lbian dividuals and stereotyp regardg prototypil lears, heterosexual followers tend to perceive lears wh same-sex sexual orientatn as ls effective and exhib low levels of nformy to the lears’ fluence ntrast, sexual mory followers are more likely to intify socially wh their sexual mory lears and tegorize them as -group members (Avol, 2007; Chatman, 1991; Tajfel & Turner, 1985). G., Herek, 2000; Ke & Dex, 1987)—might have implicly fluenced Study 1 participants to react to the gay lear and the lbian lear such a way that they might have harshly punished the gay lear for not adherg to sex-role norms for men, but given ltle punishment to the lbian lear or even reward the lbian lear for beg prumably mascule, a stereotypilly necsary lear qualy (e.

Aga, as discsed Study 2, we spect that explic rmatn on the lbian lear’s masculy and the gay lear’s femy the current study might have trigged study participants to foc on the lears’ sexual orientatn and rulted harsh punishments om the study participants on both lears for their vlatn of the heteronormative standards for lears (e. However, given the relatively small proportns of gay and lbian lears, as well as the potentially sensive nature of the topic, a non-experimental vtigatn of lear sexual orientatn undoubtedly would prove example, rearchers would need to nsir the ethil implitns of gatherg rmatn om followers who perceive their lears to be gay or lbian.

40 YEARS AFTER ASSASSATN OF FIRST OPENLY GAY ELECTED OFFICIAL IN CALIFORNIA

Focg on the ntext of discrimatn the workplace, recent evince shows that gay men and lbians are treated and evaluated unfairly parison to heterosexual people, as a rult of sexual prejudice and stereotypil genr rol (ACLU, 2015; Barron & Hebl, 2013; Drydakis, 2015; Horvath & Ryan, 2003; Ruggs et al., 2013; Tilcsik, 2011). Th, the perceived effectivens of a gay male lear havg stereotypil feme characteristics and of one havg stereotypil mascule characteristics was stereotyp refer to different expectatns associated wh men and women, and scribe how they are expected to behave and appear to others (Eagly, 1987; Heilman, 1983).

On the other hand, women are expected to have stereotypil feme characteristics like munaly, warmth, and sociabily (Cuddy, Fiske & Glick, 2008; Eagly & Steffen, 1984) Genr Inversn Theory (Ke & Dex, 1987) poss that gay men and lbians are perceived to posss stereotypil characteristics associated wh heterosexual dividuals of the oppose sex rather than of the same sex. A large body of work has supported the assumptn of genr versn theory that people perceive gay men to be siar to heterosexual women and lbians to be siar to heterosexual men (Blashill & Powlishta, 2009; Callenr, 2015; Dex & Ke, 1985; Ke & Dex, 1987; LaMar & Ke, 1998; Madon, 1997; Miller & Lewallen, 2015; Niedlich, Steffens, Krse, Settke & Ebert, 2015; Page & Yee, 1986; Steffens, Jonas & Denger, 2015; Taylor, 1983).

FORMER 'EX-GAY' LEARS DENOUNCE 'CONVERSN THERAPY' IN A NEW DOCUMENTARY

Prev rearch has also shown that men wh stereotypil feme characteristics are more likely to be perceived as gay, whereas women wh stereotypil mascule characteristics are more likely to be perceived as lbians (Cox, Deve, Bischmann & Hy, 2016; Geiger, Harwood & Hummert, 2006; Lehavot & Lambert, 2007; Storms, Stivers, Lambers & Hill, 1981) an versn of genr stereotyp is an important predictor of workplace discrimatn agast people sexual mori (Clarke & Arnold, 2018; Liberman & Golom, 2015; Morton, 2017). We proposed that sexual prejudice is a signifint factor creatg biased evaluatns of gay lears, pecially when those lears are characterized by stereotypilly feme Lord and Maher's (1991) Learship Categorizatn Theory, learship effectivens is termed by whether the characteristics of an dividual are perceived to match those of the prototypil lear. Th, other words, a gay man, who belongs to a stereotyped group, uld be perceived as havg social role that is ngent wh a learship role, which lowers the evaluatn of that group member as an actual or potential occupant of that the same time, the ternalizatn of a culturally shared knowledge about the state of ferry and powerlsns of people belongg to sexual mori n be exprsed the form of negative attus towards them (Herek & McLemore, 2013).

In their study, the thors found that people wh high sexual prejudice tend to nigrate most strongly the people who simultaneoly vlated expectatns regardg both dimensns of the tradnal sexual and genr prent relevance, Morton (2017) found that high levels of sexual prejudice exerted a negative effect on perceptns of the learship effectivens of gay men. Th, addn to the key role played by sexual prejudice the biased perceptn of gay lears, is possible to expect sexual prejudice and genr stereotyped characteristics associated wh gay lears to have a bed effect, raisg distorted perceptns about those lears, pecially when their learship effectivens is to be two onle experiments volvg heterosexual men, we examed perceptns of the learship effectivens of gay men the Uned Stat. Mascule) characteristics associated wh the gay lear would strengthen the negative relatnship between sexual prejudice and learship, Study 1 was foced on the teractive effects of the sexual orientatn of male lears, genr stereotyp associated wh work anizatns and sexual prejudice on perceived learship effectivens.
