IntroductnA growg body of rearch suggts that lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)1 dividuals experience timate partner vlence (IPV) at rat that are equal to or higher than those among heterosexuals (Goldberg and Meyer, 2013, Nowski and Bowen, 2012, Walters et al., 2013). 2% of bisexual women reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA and 59% of gay men and 53% of bisexual men reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA (Walters et al., 2013) heterosexual dividuals PA often -occurs wh physil aggrsn (Follgstad, 2009) or is a precursor to physil aggrsn (Schumacher & Leonard, 2005), and PA perpetratn also predicts sexual aggrsn perpetratn (Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano, & McGrath, 2007).

Th, rearch that vtigat termants of antigay vlence uld promote public health by rmg terventn programs aimed at rcg the typ of hate Role of Anger Antigay VlenceIn an extensive review of the antigay aggrsn lerature, Parrott (2008) highlighted the utily of anizg risk factors for antigay aggrsn wh the parsimon theoretil amework of the General Aggrsn Mol (Anrson & Bhman, 2002). Ined, rearchers have long poted out that the male genr role is fed by ntrasts and that the ntrasts are mataed through the segregatn and persecutn of women and gay men as the non-mascule “other” (Frankl, 1998, 2000, 2004; Kimmel, 1997, 2000; Kimmel & Mahler, 2003).

Heterosexual men may be motivated to enforce this ntrast for a number of reasons, cludg tradnal beliefs about marriage and fay (Hegarty, Pratto, & Lemix, 2004), beliefs that gay men are rriers of HIV (Pryor, Reer, Yeadon, & Hson-McInnis, 2004), to avoid unwanted sexual advanc (Herek, 2000a), and to ga stat and avoid emasculatn at the hands of their peers (Frankl, 2000; Harry, 1990; Kimmel, 1997). E., creased negative affect) rponse to pictur of nu men and male-male upl (Mahaffey, Bryan, & Hutchson, 2005a, 2005b) prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr have also been shown to facilate antigay aggrsn.

For example, numero survey-based vtigatns have shown that sexual prejudice is associated wh self-reported past aggrsive behavr toward gay men (Frankl, 2000; Patel, Long, McCammon, & Wuensch, 1995; Rorick, McCammon, Long, & Allred, 1998).

‘EPIMIC OF VLENCE’: BRAZIL SHOCKED BY ‘BARBARIC’ GANG-RAPE OF GAY MAN

In two laboratory-based studi (Bernat et al., 2001; Parrott & Zeichner, 2005), sexually prejudiced men who viewed male-male eroti displayed higher levels of aggrsn toward a gay, relative to a heterosexual, man. However, among men who viewed male-female eroti, no differenc aggrsn toward gay or heterosexual men were observed (Parrott & Zeichner, 2005) fdgs clearly monstrate an teractive effect of sexual prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr (i.

Parrott and Zeichner (2005) showed that, among heterosexual men who were exposed to male-male eroti, the experience of anger was posively rrelated wh aggrsn agast a gay, relative to a heterosexual, male opponent. In a direct tt of this hypothis, Parrott and Peterson (2008) asssed sexual prejudice, anger rponse to a vigte pictg male-male timate relatnship behavr, and self-reported past aggrsive behavr toward gay men.

Rults dited anger rponse to gay men fully mediated the relatn between sexual prejudice and the perpetratn of antigay is likely that multiple factors fluence an dividual's cisn to act aggrsively towards a gay man (Frankl, 1998; Parrott & Peterson, 2008). Ined, Whley (2002) asserted that when a natural settg is feasible, the most elogilly valid laboratory settg is one that mimics the natural settg as closely as noted above, pertent theory (Frankl, 1998, 2000, 2004; Kimmel, 1997, 2000; Kimmel & Mahler, 2003) has highlighted the importance of exposure to male-male timate behavr as a risk factor for antigay aggrsn.

As such, the prent fdgs strengthen the view that sexual prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr are important variabl that activate an anger based pathway towards antigay aggrsn (Parrott & Peterson, 2008).

Although empiril rearch supports the general distctns (Frankl, 2000), any given act of aggrsn toward gay men or other sexual mori is likely motivated by the nvergence of multiple this proliferatn of theoretil explanatns, empiril study of the motiv is of the utmost theoretil and applied importance.
