However, we also fd clear evince that gay men face glass ceilgs: their higher likelihood of attag workplace thory is driven entirely by their signifintly higher odds of beg low-level managers.

Specifilly, we provi the lerature's first evince that gay men are signifintly more likely than otherwise siar heterosexual men to report managerial thory and/or supervisory rponsibili the workplace. However, we fd strong evince om the NS-SEC that there are glass ceilgs: the managerial advantage experienced by gay men stems entirely om the fact that they are more likely than heterosexual men to be low-level managers. When we perform Oaxa-style posns to unrstand the source of the gay male disadvantage wh rpect to workplace thory, we fd that the majory of the difference is due to differential returns to observed characteristics and skills (such as tn) as opposed to differential endowments.

GAY MOSW MOSW CY GUI

A recent Universy of Sydney study found that more “tradnally feme”-prentg gay men may be more likely to get passed up for learship rol the the study, which was published the journal Sex Rol, rearchers asked 256 Atralian men (half gay and half straight) to help st a gay man to reprent Sydney a fx tourism mpaign. ” Afterward, participants were asked to vote for the ndidate they thought people would most thk of as a gay and straight men signifintly favored the more tradnally mascule-prentg gay ndidat over the more feme-prentg ndidat. As the study pots out, this uld be attributed to the “thk manager-thk male” stereotype, which people tend to subnscly associate learship quali wh mascule logic helps perpetuate stereotyp that gay men are “feme and therefore perceived as ls equipped to occupy higher-stat posns social hierarchi, such as the workplace.

”While rearchers attributed the rults to straight men’s “greater anti-gay sentiment, ” they also reasoned that the discrimatn that more feme-prentg cis gay men experience n e gay men to ternalize negative beliefs about “male femy” and avoid prentg as such to avoid negative treatment different areas of their liv. Back 2018, an analysis of data om UK hoeholds (wh a sample size of over 600, 000 adults) found that gay employe are signifintly ls likely to be promoted to higher-level managerial posns than their straight peers wh siar levels of tn and be clear, palist bs practic certaly aren’t the be-all, end-all of breakg down unhealthy prenceptns about sex and genr.

Women’s rights and genr pary have domated the public nversatn about equaly the workplace recent months, but a new study is a powerful remr that the discsn needs to analysis of data om UK hoeholds nfirmed a spicn long held by gay men and women: Gay employe are signifintly ls likely to be promoted to high-level managerial posns than their straight peers wh parable tn and fact, gay men who do break through the “gay glass ceilg” are more highly ted than straight men siar rol.

Wh anti-LGBTQ sentiment on the rise, now more than ever, anizatns n win the opportuni for gay advancement for those both and out of the closet, and smash that gay glass ceilg once and for all.
