FIVE YEARS OLD AND GAY RURAL, WTERN KANSAS

Both lbians and gay men often have a history of cross-sex-typed behavrs: ltle boys beg fatuated wh their mother's makp k; ltle girls enamored of field hockey or profsnal wrtlg. So on the basis of some earlier, shakier rearch, along wh a good dose of mon sense, Bailey and Zucker hypothized that homosexuals would show an verted pattern of sex-typed childhood behavrs—ltle boys preferrg girls as playmat and beg fatuated wh their mother's makp k; ltle girls strangely enamored of field hockey or profsnal wrtlg—that sort of thg.

Although only 12 percent of the women grew up to be genr dysphoric (the unfortable sense that your blogil sex do not match your genr), the odds of the women reportg a bisexual or homosexual orientatn were up to 23 tim higher than would occur a general sample of young women. Bailey and Zucker, who nducted a retrospective study which adults answered qutns about their past, revealed that 89 percent of randomly sampled gay men relled cross-sex-typed childhood behavrs exceedg the heterosexual median. There is also evince of a “dosage effect”: the more genr-nonnformg characteristics there are childhood, the more likely is that a homosexual or bisexual orientatn will be prent adulthood.

Bee the data often reveal very early emergg tras prehomosexuals, children who show pronounced sex-atypil behavrs may have more of a geic loadg to their homosexualy, whereas gay adults who were sex-typil as children might trace their homosexualy more directly to particular childhood experienc.

WHY DO YOUNG GAY MEN TRY TO BE THE BT?

As clil psychologists and public health rearchers, we too noticed that "the bt ltle boy the world" phenomenon seemed to elegantly expla the strategi ed by so many young gay men whom we enunter our personal and profsnal liv. Given all the theorizg, story-tellg, and personal observatns documentg this phenomenon, we were surprised that no one had ever empirilly studied the supposed tenncy of young gay men to pe wh the early, isolatg awarens of their sexual orientatn by strivg to be "the bt" and the potential psychologil sts of this strivg.

We wonred whether, nsistent wh "the bt ltle boy the world" narrative, young gay men would be particularly likely to vt their self-worth those life domas which they are particularly likely to succeed spe beg stigmatized. For example, sce young gay men nnot be assured of fay support, peer approval, or God's love as long as they hi their sexual orientatn om everyone, may be wise for them not to vt their self-worth those life domas.

Rather than suggtg that gay men posss some nate tenncy to be the bt drsed and most acplished, we proposed that the tennci would be products of the social environment which gay men are raised. Even today, some early environments are so unwelg for gays and lbians that adolcents who regnize that they have romantic or sexual feelgs toward members of the same sex and who live homophobic plac may nceal their sexual orientatn om everyone--parents, teachers, iends--for many years. We also proposed a further st, namely that the greater the gree to which young gay men vt the achievement-related domas, the greater the lengths they would go to assure succs them, even if unhealthy ways, such as isolatg onelf, eatg too much or too ltle, or lyg and gettg to arguments wh others.

We asked the gay participants to dite the age at which they first beme aware that they were gay and the age at which they first told another person that they were gay, so that we uld terme the length of time that each gay participant was pletely closeted. We also asked gay participants to dite the state which they attend high school so that we uld lculate the gree of non-acceptance of lbian and gay people those stat at the time that participants were ially formg a gay inty. Our rults also showed that beg "the bt ltle boy the world" at a st, as young gay men who vted the stat-related domas were more likely to spend more time alone, to report more daily eatg problems, gettg to arguments and lyg to others, and to feel more strs each day.

Siar to Ain Amerin llege stunts who are particularly likely, for example, to base their self-teem God's love and thereby protect their self-teem, the young gay men our study were particularly likely to base their self-teem stat-related domas. The rults of our rearch suggt that gay men take reful stock of the extent to which their self-worth riv om seekg stat om domas like beg the bt, lookg the bt, or earng high gras or lots of money.
