Rearch monstrat the bias faced by dividuals engaged occupatns that are perceived as nsistent wh their genr. The lack of f mol and role ngy theory expla how genr stereotyp give rise to the perceptn that an dividual lacks the attribut necsary to be succsful a genr-ngent job. Men employed jobs tradnally held by women are perceived as wimpy and unservg of rpect. The majory of studi this area have, however, failed to acunt for the sexual orientatn of the dividual beg rated. Therefore, we rried out an experiment where 128 adults wh experience recment and selectn, reced through Qualtrics, rated heterosexual and gay male applints applyg for a genr-typed job. The heterosexual male was rated ls effectual, ls rpect-worthy, and ls hirable the female-typed job ndn than the male-typed job ndn. The gay male applint, however, was rated siarly on all creria across job genr-typ, suggtg the gay male applint was viewed as androgyno rather than high femy and low masculy as ferred by implic versn theory. The implitns of the fdgs are discsed.

The stereotype ntent for sexual mory groups has been found to be partly verted pared to the ntent of stereotyp about the general genr groups women and men, such that the stereotype ntent for lbian women is more siar to that of men general, while the stereotype ntent for gay men is more siar to that of women general1 (see for stance, Blashill and Powlishta, 2009).
Rearch on beliefs regardg genr versn of characteristics associated wh sexual mori have found that homosexual women and men are seen as more siar to other-genr heterosexual groups than to their rpective same genr group (Ke and Dex, 1987; Blashill and Powlishta, 2009), and that heterosexual groups are seen are more genr typil than homosexual or bisexual groups (Ghavami and Pepl, 2018). In fact, homosexual women and men n be rated as equally mascule and feme (Clarke and Arnold, 2017) wh parable gre of siari to both same and other genr groups (Ghavami and Pepl, 2018): suggtg an androgyny rather than genr versn view of sexual mori.
RACIAL STEREOTYPG OF GAY MEN: CAN A MORY SEXUAL ORIENTATN ERASE RACE?☆,☆☆
* stereotype of gay men *
Studi of stereotype ntent for sexual mory groups nducted different cultur show different gre of agency and munn clud cultural stereotyp regardg homosexual women and men, rangg om high on both dimensns (homosexual men Norway; Bye et al., 2014) to low on both dimensns (homosexual men Mexi; Durante et al., 2013).
Fdgs om Atralia (Durante et al., 2013), Germany (Eck, 2002; Asbrock, 2010), Italy (Brambilla et al., 2011), and the Uned Stat (Fiske et al., 2002) show eher medium levels of agency and munn clud the stereotyp about homosexual women and men, or partial genr versn of stereotype ntent. Comparisons between homosexual and bisexual women and men dite eher that bisexual groups form a clter relatively low on both munn and agency (Mize and Manago, 2018), or that ratgs of munn follow a genred (but verted) pattern, while ratgs of agency is lower for bisexual men than for remag groups (Vghn et al., 2017).
STEREOTYP, EMOTNS, AND BEHAVRS TOWARD LBIANS, GAY MEN, BISEXUAL WOMEN, AND BISEXUAL MEN
The current rearch examed the ntent and strength of the gay male stereotype. This foc reprents a return to the earlit issu addrsed by socia * stereotype of gay men *
While implic attus toward homosexual and bisexual women and men have begun to bee an object of study (for exampl, see for stance, Steffens and Wagner, 2004; Morrison et al., 2010; Breen and Karpski, 2013), there are to our knowledge no studi on implic stereotype ntent terms of munn and agency for sexual mori g the SC-IAT. This differs somewhat om prev studi that have found that stereotype ntent for homosexual women and men are more siar to genr ngent heterosexual groups, while stereotype ntent for bisexual women and men clter together to a greater gree (Vghn et al., 2017; Mize and Manago, 2018). As n be seen Table 4 om the 95% CIs for the group mean D-sr, all groups except “men” and homosexual men showed a stronger associatn to warmth pared to ld, while all groups except homosexual men and bisexual men showed a stronger associatn to petence pared to petence.

The male athlet who've e out recently rerce the obv: Gay men n be mascule. But people should also be acceptg of men, gay or straight, who don't nform to tradnal genr norms. * stereotype of gay men *
Three 2 (group genr: woman, man) × 4 (sexual orientatn: none listed, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual) ANOVAs were nducted to analyze differenc D-sr for Warmth-Cold, Competence-Inpetence and Stereotype Content based on target group. The current fdgs showed that the stereotype ntent for the general genr tegori “women” and “men” was siar to that of the specific tegori heterosexual women and men, while beg signifintly different om that of homo- or bisexual women and men. As regards the genr versn theory of sexual orientatn (Ke and Dex, 1987), the ntent of stereotyp about homosexual and bisexual tegori were ls genr stereotypil than the ntent of stereotyp about the general genr tegori and the heterosexual tegori.
Early studi wh an SCM amework that clud sexual mory groups found that the stereotype ntent for the groups homosexual men and women was ntral rather than genr versed (Fiske et al., 2002; Asbrock, 2010; Brambilla et al., 2011). This lack of ambivalent stereotype ntent nnected to homosexual groups was suggted to be a rult of ntrastg stereotype ntent for salient subgroups of homosexual women and men leadg to stereotype ntent ratgs of medium agency and munn (Clsell and Fiske, 2005; Brambilla et al., 2011).
WHAT DO PEOPLE BELIEVE ABOUT GAY MAL? A STUDY OF STEREOTYPE NTENT AND STRENGTH
Degree of genr nformy or genr non-nformy seems to be an anizg feature perceptns of subgroups of lbian women and gay men (Geiger et al., 2006; McCutcheon and Morrison, 2021), which uld be one reason as why to subgroups of sexual mori n be associated wh ntrastg stereotype ntent. However, the current studi fd no ditn that ntrastg stereotype ntent for subgroups fluenced the overall stereotype ntent of sexual mory groups, and stead falls le wh prev fdgs regardg the partial genr versn of the ntent of stereotyp about homosexual dividuals. However, the current rearch tells a different story wh homosexual men beg rated signifintly lower regardg munn that heterosexual women Study 1 but not Study 2, while ratgs of homosexual women did not differ om ratgs of heterosexual men terms of munn of agency eher study.
The ntent of stereotyp for bisexual groups was more siar to the stereotype ntent for their rpective genr ngent homosexual unterparts than to heterosexual or general groups, ditg that there may be a higher gree of genr atypily stereotype ntent for non-heterosexual groups general and not exclively for homosexual groups. This view of bisexual groups as more genr typil than homosexual groups, but ls genr typil than heterosexual groups, cis wh fdgs om the Uned Stat regardg perceptns of bisexual women and men (Vghn et al., 2017; Ghavami and Pepl, 2018; Mize and Manago, 2018).
GAY STEREOTYP: ARE THEY TE?
There is a mon prejudice relatn to bisexualy that bisexualy is not a valid sexual orientatn unto self, but rather an exprsn of nfn om people who are “actually” homosexual or heterosexual (Israel and Mohr, 2004; Hubbard and Visser, 2015; Burke and LaFrance, 2016b; Menroth et al., 2021). Whether or not a bisexual person is seen as latently homosexual or heterosexual pends on their genr, such that bisexual women are seen as latently heterosexual and bisexual men are seen as latently homosexual (Flanrs and Hatfield, 2013; Mize and Manago, 2018; Menroth et al., 2021). Bee the stereotype ntent reported the current study for bisexual groups was closer to that of genr ngent homosexual groups for both bisexual women and men, there is some ditn that bisexual men were viewed as latently homosexual, but no ditn that bisexual women were viewed are latently heterosexual.
WHAT ABOUT THE GUYS WHO DO F THE 'GAY STEREOTYPE'?
Prev rearch to stereotyp about bisexual people have found a lack of knowledge among heterosexual dividuals about tras associated wh bisexual women and men (Zivony and Lobel, 2014), while homosexual and bisexual dividuals report stereotyp closer to those about homosexual groups (Burke and LaFrance, 2016a, b).
