HUFFPOST GAY VOIC DEBUTS

— will (@lluoh) July 15, 2023Y'all realize every other spirman has done gay rol too, right? HuffPost Gay Voic/Queer Voic ed to feature a lot of articl wrten by “ntributors” (unpaid bloggers). When the new HuffPost CEO Lydia Polgreen—who jt won an award om the Natnal Lbian and Gay Journalists Associatn—me , she immediately cut off all bloggers om the platform wh a terse email that didn’t say thank you any way, and that was that.

HERE'S WHY HUFFPOST GAY VOIC JT CHANGED ITS NAME TO HUFFPOST QUEER VOIC

”At that time, Noah Michelson was the edor of Huffgton Post Gay Voic (which he changed to Queer Voic), and he no longer serv that role; he was promoted to edorial director of HuffPost I jt found the new Queer Voic edor: Jam Michael Nichols. Intertg that this would be the time durg which Lydia Polgreen would get the big gay journalism award.

most of Huff Post Queer is trans-pro, gay lbian-n... Bisexual men are perceived to sound more mascule than men who are straight, acrdg to a study of Atralian subjects.Amics at the Universy of Sydney pared the voic of gay, straight and bisexual men a study volvg 160 people.In the rearch led by clil psychologist Jam Morandi, people were reced to analyse the voic of 60 men, 20 of whom were gay, 20 straight and 20 bisexual. They were then asked to rate the men on their sexual orientatn g a sle om zero (exclively heterosexual) to 10 (exclively homosexual).Listeners were also asked to rate each man’s perceived level of femy or masculy the voic on a siar sle.The men volved the study were asked to rerd themselv on a smartphone recg the first two l of the Atralian natnal anthem.Voice sampl were then modified to remove any background noise while volume levels were ma the same to ensure nsistency.Rults om the study showed listeners uld distguish between gay and straight men’s voic wh an accuracy of 62 per cent, apparently nsistent wh prev rearch.However, the study participants uld not terme any differenc between bisexual and straight men’s voic wh any gree of accuracy.

The thors said their rearch showed bisexual men’s voic were perceived as beg more exclively attracted to women pared wh both gay and straight men’s voic.Bisexual men’s voic were rated as more mascule than both gay and straight men’s voic.Rearchers claimed the abily to intify a man’s bisexual inty om his voice alone uld have cril social implitns such as helpg to rce feelgs of alienatn.‘Voice may unter visibily many bisexuals feel’An abstract of the study, tled Can listeners tect if a man is bisexual om his voice alone, reads: “The prent study examed whether bisexual men n be intified om their voic ak to how gay men n be intified on their voice alone.“If this is the se, voice may be an important target of discrimatn on the one hand but may also unter the visibily many bisexuals feel (if their bisexual inti n be apprehend by their voice alone, whout explic disclosure required).“The fdgs may also she light on whether bisexual male voic, like gay male voic, differ om straight voic terms of their genr non-nformy – a qutn that to date has not been examed.”But amics noted the rearch was limed on the grounds all men who participated the study are Atralian, which may not be reflected among wir cultur.And the thors nced the study did not ntrol for the rerdg environment or microphone-to-mouth distance, which uld have affected the qualy of the voice sampl.The thors said the fdgs suggted that while the voic of bisexual men the sample were perceived as more mascule and attracted to femal, listeners did not associate this imprsn wh bisexualy.As a rult, while bisexual men may appear to be at lower risk of facg voice-based intifitn and discrimatn than gay men, they may often be mistaken as beg straight.The study was published the Journal of Sex Rearch. Acrdg to an troductory blog post penned by HuffPo's edorial director, Noah Michelson, the new name -- which replac HuffPost Gay Voic -- was chosen an attempt to create a more clive onle edorial space that better reprents the LGBT populatn at large.

HUFFPOST GAY VOIC IS NOW QUEER VOIC

"Historilly, the term "queer" has often been ed as a rogatory slur agast gay men, but as Michelson pots out, the word was reclaimed recent s as a way to intify and unify all people who fall wh the LGBT spectm. I hontly n't unt the reasons why I'm thrilled to beg today as Edor-at-Large of HuffPost Gay Voic. This is a pivotal, excg time for gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr Amerins.

From Hollywood and rporate Ameri to the halls of Congrs and our natn's schools, gay liv are at the foreont of the natnal nversatn. But for someone like me, who has passnately vered gay culture and polics for jt about two s, 's tly a great privilege. It's about verg film, sports, fashn, tn, sexualy, fah, race, relatnships, fance and so much that's one among many reasons why Gay Voic is a perfect f at The Huffgton Post.

I look forward to workg wh Gay Voic edor Noah Michelson, who's done a terrific job over the past several months at makg Gay Voic an important place not jt for LGBT people, but for anyone, straight or gay, lookg for rmatn, news and of the great assets of Gay Voic is fact that 's a gay space on a much larger, diverse platform. I'll be helpg to lead those bat, brgg many varied pots of view, and also helpg shape the visn here at Gay Voic. The Huffgton Post has lnched Gay Voic, another “vertil” (their term for a specific sectn of the se) their seemgly ever-growg list (Black Voic, Lato Voic, etc.

) servg ntent by er his gural post welg rears, Gay Voic edor Noah Michelson addrs the ratnale for the se and s name:While the Huffgton Post has done an credible job of verg queer stori the past, Gay Voic will provi a place for all of those stori to “live” together, thereby makg much easier for rears to fd, share and discs queer topics...

Brgs to the term “gay” and why we chose the name Gay Voic...

While most often scrib a “male homosexual, ” “gay” has been and n be ed by (and to refer to) those wh other margalized sexual inti. I fully nce the term may not be one everyone feels fortable claimg or wants to be associated wh (pecially when to issu of genr rather than sexualy), but after realizg that there was never gog to be the perfect term for to e, we felt that “gay” packs the most stantaneo punch and immediately intifi the ntent on this vertil as alg wh the typ of issu and argument that “gay” is still the clost we have to a universally acceptable word to scribe LGBT people is not new.

WELE TO HUFFPOST GAY VOIC

The qutn I have om the above ratnale is: Has the word “gay” really e full circle? Well, Gay Voic seems to thk so.

Not sure if that will ntue, but the ma article today on the Gay Voic homepage about HIV gave me some hope. Let’s hope Gay Voic keeps HIV/AIDS stori high the mix. HuffPost Gay Voic has unrgone a socially relevant and important name change; om now on, the popular LGBT news source will go by HuffPost Queer Voic.
