The creased probabily of openly admtg to beg gay, the length of time between mencg same-sex relatnships and g out to others, and the high probabily of havg sexual relatns wh women spe a lack of sire to do so are all ditive that the standards of masculy related to social class have a ntrollg effect on the social liv of workg-class gay men (Barrett and Pollack 2005).

WHAT 'S LIKE TO BE GAY IRAN

It is hardly surprisg such an opprsive and secretive environment of stutnalised discrimatn that the members of Iran’s unrground gay muny experience emotns of fear, anger, rejectn, and tratn, leadg them to velop a variety of pg strategi.

Shared not only among gay muni but also across generatns, this rmatn-sharg system empowers members of the Iranian gay culture to overe both physil and psychologil hurdl by givg them a sense of belongg, the eedom to pursue happs and well-beg, and genue meang their liv.
