10 COUNTRI WH THE BIGGT GAY POPULATNS THE WORLD

Our list of 10 untri wh the Biggt Gay Populatn the World is likely to tch you by surprise as you’re gog to fd some of the most nservative untri this list as well. Countri like England, Brazil, Wal and France have allowed same-sex marriag recently, which make a total of 17 untri where gay marriag are acceptable.

However, there are some untri where gay marriage is allowed certa areas for example, 18 stat the US allow their cizens to marry the partner of their choice. Today some of the most succsful TV shows are hosted by people, who are gay, for example, Ellen DeGener is pretty open about her marriage to Portia, her wife. For some this might e as a surprise as Cha is not known as a untry that supports or promot topics like gay, lbian or bisexual but sce is the biggt populatn on Earth also has the hight number of gay people.

" We spoke to Pase about the te meang behd homophobic slurs, why young men monly e them, and whether they lead to Here's Why Straight Men Have Sex Wh Each Other and How They Jtify ItThis terview has been lightly eded for length and What is the orig of the word "fag, " and was always ed as a slur? " Now that I’m dog rearch (wh Sarah Diefendorf of Universy of Washgton) on the e of the ephet “no homo” on Twter, we do see young women g the term, but still much ls equently than young men do.

A HANDY GUI TO ALL GAY MEN

While rearch still bears out this difference, genr differenc anti-gay attus are ls divergent than they have been historilly — men’s changg perspectiv, for stance, have acunted for much of the change opn regardg same-sex my rearch shows is that somethg more plited is gog on — ’s not jt that boys are more homophobic than girls, but that this sort of homophobia is a “genred homophobia” which young men are teachg each other lsons masculy. So, when the young men e “fag” as an ephet, they refer ually to unmascule men, gay or is why I ll their behavr a “genred” homophobia rather than simply homophobia. As one boy I terviewed about his e of the word "fag" said, “I actually say () que a lot, except for when I’m the pany of an actual homosexual person.

A study out of Canada a few years ago dited that when young men e homophobic ephets that they don’t actually mean someone is is a plited argument to make — that homophobic ephets are about policg masculy, and they may also be about puttg down gay men, or perhaps one and not the other.

This specific statistic is not my work – rearchers Michael Kimmel and Matthew Mahler poted this out their piece lled Adolcent, Masculy, Homophobia and Vlence: Random School Shootgs 1982-2001. Others have poted out that when men’s masculy was threatened an experimental suatn, they were more supportive of the Iraq War, exprsed more sexual prejudice toward gay men, and were even more likely to say they wanted to buy an SUV!

We n unrstand e of homophobic ephets toward straight, young men as a form of “masculy threat” to which the young men may rpond by assertg other facets of masculy, cludg the most dire scenars, wisle vlence. As such, y, we need to addrs homophobia directed at gays and lbians, but equally important we need to ll attentn to the role plays shapg really damagg and dangero notns of masculy for straight young men.

So I’m not as ncerned wh particular words as I am wh what we mean when we say I talk to school admistrators and teachers about genr equaly and homophobia schools, for stance, I don’t enurage them to make certa language off lims. This is much more productive than say, givg a kid tentn and labelg him a homophobe (not to mentn the fact that those sorts of punishment practic are disproportnately targeted at youth of lor) urse, one of the difficulti grapplg wh genred homophobia among boys is that often boys ploy the ephets jokg teractns wh iends. Somethg we have to remember is the sort of “genr policg’ that happens through the ployment of homophobic ephets don’t jt happen when one high-stat boy go after a lser, weaker, ls popular boy, but happens relatnships of equals, often through humoro teractns.

” I would enurage to velop forms of humor and bondg that perhaps don’t rely on puttg down others, threateng their genr inty, or rerce toxic social your opnDo you often hear homophobic slurs? They may not be very faiar to the world at large, but they are certaly faiar to the brothers butt say that each gay person belongs to one of the typ is a b ceptive. Wild, ornery, and still gettg over their g out issu, the twk is the gay gone wild, and is ba to olr men who are to tryg to suck off their youthful energy.

Celebry Example: This is such a specific type don't really exists the world at large, but the Platonic ial of a circu boy is DJ Brett HenrichsenGay-Listers.

The drag queens are not only the urt jters of the gay muny, drsg up like clowns for our entertament, but they are also a bridge to the straight world.

The closeted gay man livg Toronto may ( private) fd "faggot” a soul-cshg word, while the drag queen Montreal may fd the word hilar and regularly e a standup route or mil performance.
