Per Outsports, Maxen is the “first publicly out male ach a major Amerin men’s pro sports league, ” wh WNBA ach Curt Miller, who publicly me out to the media as gay 2015, also a publicly out male ach an Amerin profsnal sports league. There appear to have been three major historil forms for male homosexual relatnships: the Lat Amerin mol patterned after genr-rol, the Greek mol volvg a mature adult male and an adolcent male, and the morn form between mal of approximately equal ag. It monstrat that qutns around age preoccupied sexual science and argu, more specifilly, that nstctns of male homosexualy were driven by anxieti about teractns between children or adolcents and olr men.

10 It also monstrat that, notwhstandg the emergence of this mol, qutns about the impact of sexual enunters wh olr men on a younger person's sexual velopment ntued to be bated wh sexual science, creatg dialogue between theorisatns of homosexualy and ncurrent studi of childhood sexualy.

11 As such, vtigatns of male homosexualy ntued to revolve around urgent qutns about how and when same‐sex sire emerged and what impact sexual experienc youth had on later sir. 27 As the wrgs suggt, the language of perasty served, at least part, as a loc for the articulatn of anxieti about child and adolcent sexual asslt rather than the exploratn of adult male same‐sex sir that might be read terms of proto‐homosexualy.

As the followg sectn shows, the distctive sexual scientific mol of male homosexualy as an born and unchangg inty emerged direct rponse to ncerns about age‐differentiated difference and the nstctn of male homosexualyTo assuage fears about the vlatn of youth, homophile sexual scientists keen to prent a socially acceptable mol of male same‐sex relatnships rejected affirmative amgs of age‐differentiated relatnships. They nstcted an fluential alternative mol of homosexualy that was creasgly at odds wh existg Hellenisg acunts of same‐sex erotics that celebrated bonds between olr and younger men. Third, the homosexual was nstcted as a person who was driven by genred sir, rather than the sire for youth: the key characteristics of the homosexual beme his attractn to other men and his lack of sire for women.

The tegory of the paedophile me to existence to scribe such dividuals and to tablish clear distctns between homosexualy and age‐differentiated the mid‐neteenth century onwards, was creasgly difficult for homophile thors to affirm the eroticisatn of age‐differentiated male‐male relatns whout raisg the spectre of the predatory vlatn of vulnerable youth. 50 In this way, the ncept of nsent was ed to tach homosexualy om the rptn of youth and tablish legimate exprsns of same‐sex, termg the precise age at which the young person was able to nsent was difficult, pecially the ntext of ongog nttatns around childhood and adolcent sexual velopment. 52 Such bat helped to nstct the tegory of the nsentg young person who was immune om rptn and whose volvement sexual acts, cludg same‐sex acts, uld be nstctg homosexualy as volvg nsentg adults, sexual scientists rest same‐sex sire as driven by the genr of the partner and not their youth.
