The third was related to perceptns that the gay muny is overly petive, that upholds this kd of sha culture and general social petn.

The fourth was that the gay muny is exclnary of diversy, cludg racial-ethnic diversy and age diversy, and discrimatory towards gay men wh rearch fds that each of the class of strsors is associated wh prsn and anxiety.
