GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN PREFER MASCULE-PRENTG GAY MEN FOR A HIGH-STAT ROLE: EVINCE FROM AN ELOGILLY VALID EXPERIMENT

This associatn between masculy and stat endowment has plex implitns for gay men, given the prevailg stereotype that they are more feme pared to heterosexual men (Ke & Dx, 1987; Lippa, 2000; Mchell & Ellis, 2011; Sanchez et al., 2009) Men and the Feme StereotypeSuch a stereotype reflects, to some extent, average differenc genr-typily between gay and heterosexual men. Such a nnectn suggts that the extent to which gay men ternalise societal stigma about beg gay may fluence their treatment of dividuals who posss stigmatised is a nsirable lerature monstratg that gay men discrimate agast more feme gay mal beyond the romantic ntext (Brooks et al., 2017; Ravenhill & Visser, 2019; Sánchez & Vila, 2012; Taywadep, 2002).

Demonstratg that gay men are as likely to discrimate agast feme gay men as heterosexuals would ntribute to the emergg awarens of tramory prejudice as an area of ncern for the gay Current StudyThe aim of this study is to explore whether a relatively feme-prentatn negatively impacts stat attament for gay men g a more elogilly valid methodology that allows meangful parisons of the reactns of gay and heterosexual men. The average of each participant’s three rpons were lculated to create their Internalised Homonegativy Attus (Heterosexual Participants Only)To measure anti-gay attus we ployed an adapted 6-em versn of the Morn Homonegativy Sle (MHS; Morrison & Morrison, 2002), as ed by Morton (2017), to exclively asss ntemporary negative attus toward gay men.

195], that we predicted higher ternalised homonegativy levels would be associated wh a lower likelihood of votg for a feme gay exploratory logistic regrsn analysis was unrtaken to exame if morn sexism predicted ls likelihood of choosg a feme gay male (over a mascule gay male) actor, and if this effect was morated by each participant’s sexual orientatn. The fdg that stronger anti-gay negativy predicted preference for the mascule-prentg actor amongst heterosexual men also replit prev studi (Morton, 2017; Pellegri et al., 2020), offerg further evince for the nnectn between feme-prentatn among gay men and the creased risk of stat-penalti om dividuals who harbour anti-gay attus, even unr circumstanc of affirmative actn (i. (2021a) found that stronger ternalised anti-gay sentiment predicted masculy-bias – le wh the proposn that the more shame one feels about their sexualy, the ls likely they will want to be reprented by a fellow group-member who perpetuat negative the current study, however, a preference for mascule-prentg actors amongst gay participants was not signifintly predicted by levels of ternalised anti-gay sentiment.

However, future studi uld vtigate how masculy and attractivens teract ntributg to stat attament for gay male targets, pecially to terme whether attractivens is protective agast stat-penalti for feme-prentg gay sign of the current study did not allow for direct asssments of the unrlyg reasons for a masculy bias to avoid raisg participants’ spicn, but future rearch wh a different sign may benef om tappg such reasons more directly.

The current study’s fdgs further highlight how this ntemporary shift attus toward learship and stat ntu to reprent a tensn for feme-prentg gay men who have been stereotypilly perceived as ‘warm’ but not ‘petent’ pared to mascule-prentg gay men (Clsell & Fiske, 2005) current study is also among the first to show that gay men themselv are plic stat-penalti agast feme-prentg members of their own muny. As such, is imperative that the role of genr norms (specifilly, masculy) on non-heteronormative dividuals’ experienc of genr and sexual inty be addrsed to alleviate mory strs, improve mental health, wellbeg, and qualy of life, and rce heteronormative gay men, homosexual masculy is often referred to as “straight-actg” masculy and is argued to be an emulatn of heteronormative masculy—and, arguably, heterosexualy [21, 22]. The social nstctn of masculy, therefore, generat a reified oxymoron out of the phras “homosexual male” and “gay man”, whereby both terms are perceived as direct opposns of each stra gay men may experience their efforts to be as heteronormatively mascule as possible, spe their homosexualy, is perpetuated by prejudice and discrimatn all areas of life that serve to ern socially acceptable exprsns of masculy.

"STRAIGHT-ACTG GAYS": THE RELATNSHIP BETWEEN MASCULE NSCNS, ANTI-EFFEMACY, AND NEGATIVE GAY INTY

Begng om the macro level of a gay man’s social elogy, heteronormative masculy permeat the psychology of how they perceive themselv, others, and the world and extends to the micro- and mo-systems that enforce heteronormative genr and sexual inti through teractns wh iends and fay members (microsystem), as well as strangers and lleagu (mosystem) [7, 19, 25, 29, 30, 31, 42].

IT’S A MAN’S WORLD: A QUALATIVE STUDY OF GENR AND SEXUALY AMONGST ATRALIAN GAY MEN

Gay petivens and the way we sometim build our own self-teem at the expense of others leads to cliqu and sub-groups based on body type or social stat; n flict feelgs of shame for those who are left out – for “femm” who aren’t “masc” enough, for those who fall short of the “A Gay” list, for those ma to feel that they are losers. When I saw that his Instagram feed was prised primarily of imag of mcular black men, I cled to follow him ’s attus are a microsm of many of the toxic behavrs enacted by whe gay cisgenr men: the adulatn of nventnal masculy and mculary, the rejectn of femy as unsirable, and the sexual objectifitn of black and Lato men due to their supposed exoticism and light of the #MeToo movement and the exposure of sexual vlence and misnduct Hollywood, the feral ernment, and society at large, much attentn has been directed towards the toxic behavrs exhibed by heterosexual men that ntribute to a culture which sexual vlence and misnduct thrive. Keywords: masculy, mory strs, uple-level strs, mental health, gay menPrev rearch has monstrated how mory strsors (Meyer 1995, 2003) affect the well-beg of sexual mory men, but current unrstandgs do not regnize how the men are vulnerable to uniquely strsful experienc related to their performanc of masculy wh the n-text of their timate relatnships.

The term straight-actg scrib gen-r-nformg tras and performanc— this se mascule on—stereotypilly lked to straight men, cludg appearance, drs, mannerisms, speech, and terts (Carpenter 2008; Payne 2007) men are straight-actg, they are primarily performg genr to intify themselv as “mascule” men and distguish themselv om “feme” men and men exprsg gay inti. A gay uple may be extra vigilant about their genr performanc bee beg out together may draw addnal terms of ncealment, monorg of one’s own and others’ behavrs means that gay men mt refully choose how they perform masculy and what terts and activi they publilly claim if those thgs prompt challeng or scty regardg their masculy om others.

” Beg a same-sex relatnship mak ncealment more challengg and strsful regardls of how nvcg their genr performanc imply that they are straight bee beg together wh another gay man suggts one is ternalized homophobia, men, om an early age, learn that others n e the gay label to emasculate and femize other men simultaneoly as a performance of masculy (Pase 2005, 2011). Gay men might rent their partners or themselv if they are actg too “gay” or “straight, ” which n place stra on their this sectn, we have scribed the basic tes of existg theori about mory strs, intifyg a prevly unexamed source of mory strs that stems om performanc of masculy (at the dividual and uple levels), which has the potential to dimish their mental health. Although the studi support the role of mory strs and men’s health behavrs, they ignored the relatnal ntext, focg only on dividual-level experienc of participants’ masculy rather than uple level experienc of participants’ own and others’ masculy sum, prev rearch has shown that gay men face unique mory strsors when they are unable to fulfill mascule ials, which may affect their mental health (Fischgnd et al.

Straight-actg had sulated them om dividual-level mory strsors, but beg a same-sex relatnship nullified the protective aspects of straight-actg and placed them at risk of uple-level mory (41, black) and Neville’s (53, black) narrative illtrat how gay men n pass, thereby avoidg stigma, but beg together publilly voids the protectn that straight-actg offers.

TAKG OFF THE ‘MASC’: HOW GAY-INTIFYG MEN PERCEIVE AND NAVIGATE HYPER-MASCULY AND “MASCG” CULTURE ONLE

This ambiguy emerged when the li clerk tried to terme their relatnship based on their sexual athetic and prence I gus once you’re fe beg openly gay for a while, you tend to thk ’s wrten on your forehead, so when people don’t get or jt assume you’re straight you’re like, Oh yeah that’s right, I’m a straight world, fot about that.

This fdg builds upon rearch on enactg masculy female-domated profsns such as nursg, where, agast the backdrop of femized labor, straight men might feel add prsur to enact hegemonic masculy by assertg a straight inty, thereby dismissg perceptns of femy associated wh beg gay (Snyr and Green 2008) sum, we found that men same-sex relatnships are more gnizant of their relatnships’ stigmatized stat when they observe other men’s genr performanc.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT TOXIC GAY MASCULY

Given the already known psychologil risks associated wh social isolatn, ternalized homophobia, and the poor mental health out associated wh sexual mory groups, is suggted that gay men who are experiencg high gre of ternalized homophobia should not be distancg themselv om other gay men but, nversely, seek a strong relatnship wh the LGBTI muny. Given the negative mental health out associated wh ternalized homophobia and the sparsy of rearch explicly examg the role and relatnship of mascule norms on ternalized homophobia, further vtigatn to intify the soc-elogil unrpngs of ternalized homophobia is warranted orr to better predict the salience and impact of ternalized homophobia among Atralian gay men across the elogy of their environment.

Addnally, Atralian gay men tend not to value masculy very highly, as suggted by their sense of self-worth relatn to threats/boosts to further unrstand the salience of fluencers om an dividual’s macrosystem on the dividual, the study aimed to explore the gree to which gay men’s nformy and/or valuatn of hegemonic masculy predicted the gree of ternalized homophobia experienced. Addnally, the rults suggt that the signifince of threats to gay men’s masculy are superr predictors of ternalized homophobia as pared to the signifince of boosts to their prent study’s rults not only suggt that dividuals who nform more to mascule norms tend to posss higher gre of ternalized homophobia than those who nform ls to mascule norms but also, by knowg how strongly an dividual adher to mascule norms, one may predict the gree of ternalized homophobia the said dividual harbors. Given the psychologil risks associated wh social isolatn, ternalized homophobia, and the poor mental health out associated wh sexual mory groups [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16], is suggted that, not only gay men but, LGBTI dividuals who are experiencg high gre of ternalized homophobia should not be distancg themselv om other LGBTI dividuals but, nversely, seek a strong relatnship wh map of a gay addn to masculy, analys revealed that age predicted ternalized homophobia, whereby olr gay men, as pared to their younger unterparts, tend to experience lower gre of ternalized homophobia.
