I learned to walk by whout showg any reactn; I uld not let them know that bothered me, or else I would be provg to them that I was ed gay. I didn’t tell anyone about the bullyg (not my parents, teachers, or anyone) bee admtg that I was beg teased for beg gay would mean that I was admtg to beg gay.

While I was no longer harassed about my closeted sexual orientatn, I didn’t have any iends that were openly gay and most of my iends didn’t have any eher. While many loved on later told me that they spected that I was gay, no one gave me any reason to believe that they were gay-iendly. In retrospect, I had a very difficult time acceptg my gay inty, bee of the microaggrsns that I experienced throughout my life.

'THAT'S SO GAY' PHRASE HAS LASTG IMPACT FOR LGBT YOUTH, STUDY FDS

One of the reasons why was important for me to study microaggrsns agast lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer and qutng (LGBTQ) people was bee I knew that this type of discrimatn existed and bee I hypothized that they had a signifint impact on the liv of LGBTQ people, particularly on their mental health and inty velopment. For me, is anytime someone says “That’s so gay” and “No homo” my prence; for my transgenr iends, uld be anytime someone says “tranny”, “she-male”, or other rogatory terms.

Maybe this is why 9 out of 10 LGBTQ high school stunts report experiencg harassment at school and why 2/3 of them say they feel unsafe (Gay, Lbian, and Straight Edutn Network, 2010). For stance, sometim, people tell me I’m not “a typil gay guy” bee of some stereotype I don’t fulfill; other tim, people assume that I would tomatilly get along wh another gay guy simply bee we are attracted to the same genr. In the media, an example clus one time when Paris Hilton said that gay men are “disgtg” and “probably have AIDS” or recently when The Bachelor said that gay people were “more ‘pervert’ a sense.

Anytime that any straight man assum that I would h on them, not only are they mistakenly flatterg themselv, they are munitg that they thk that all gay men n’t keep their hands to themselv. Correct others when they e homophobic/ transphobic language or endorse LGBTQ stereotyp.
