In the Uned Stat this greater visibily brought some backlash, particularly om the ernment and the police: the ernment often fired gay civil servants, the ary attempted to purge s ranks of gay soldiers (a policy enacted durg World War II), and police vice squads equently raid gay bars and arrted their patrons. In the Uned Stat the first major male anizatn, found 1950–51 by Harry Hay Los Angel, was the Mattache Society (s name reputedly rived om a medieval French society of masked players, the Société Mattache, to reprent the public “maskg” of homosexualy), while the Dghters of Bilis (named after the Sapphic love poems of Pierre Louÿs, Chansons Bilis), found 1955 by Phyllis Lyon and Del Mart San Francis, was a leadg group for women.

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).

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.
