"THAT'S SO GAY" IS JT SO WRONG

But parents who are enough aware of language’s substrata n help by helpg their kids’ schools unrstand the value of practicg the same kd of zero tolerance for homophobic language that they do for racist or anti-Semic or bullyg language.

I argued that straight men’s e of phras like “that’s so gay” uld only be unrstood by three key factors: first, the tent wh which was said; send, the social ntext (homophobic or otherwise); and third, the effect had.

LIFE IS TOTALLY GAY

If young gay people are sayg that they do not experience the phrase “that’s so gay” as homophobic – and if they are even g the phrase themselv – then perhaps we should accept their arguments and ncentrate on other battl. Totally not gayWhen closeted gay men who sperately seek the attentn and approval of others jokgly engage sexual nuendos that would otherwise appear to make them homosexual but then claim that s "totally not gay" when is -fact pletely, 100% Hey, why don't I pretend to perform fellat on you. Most people the LGBTQ+ muny know om experience that acceptg your sexualy will lead to your beg a happier, more open this gui, the term gay has been ed to clu all forms of non-heterosexual attractn, whether that be people who are lbian, gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual, or otherwise not straight.

The laws the Bible were maly for health purpos - shunng homosexualy is right next to not gettg tattoos, not eatg pork, and not wearg mixed lens, but you n bet your bottom dollar all your neighbors do those thgs. The news this week that the largt study of s kd failed to nfirm the existence of a "gay gene" is not so much a disappotment for those lookg to unrstand the LGBTQ muny, as is an acknowledgement that science do not need to tell what should be plaly obv: gays, lbians, bisexuals and pansexuals are who they are. As Northwtern Universy psychologist Jeremy Jabbour and his lleagu pot out an article recently published the Archiv of Sexualy, many rearchers today still thk terms of a three-way divisn of sexual orientatn to straight, bi, and gay.

HOW TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE GAY

In sum, the pattern of data suggt that men who report themselv as “mostly straight” have some tennci mon wh “gay” men, but they’re also more like “straight” men than those who intify as “bisexual.

THE 'GAY GENE' IS A MYTH BUT BEG GAY IS 'NATURAL,' SAY SCIENTISTS

While has now bee a well-accepted notn that sexualy is fluid, and that dividuals are not necsarily only simply straight, gay or bisexual —and that sexualy n change over time— is important that we rema cril of this ia, and what ultimately means for LGBTQ cultural shift has acpanied a siar shift that has occurred for genr rol: we are now (largely) more acceptg of the ia that an dividual’s genr may not acrd neatly wh the sex assigned at birth; they may choose to take on certa aspects of tradnal genr rol, relquish others and possibly even create totally new ways of enactg genr.

This is hardly a new thought: Aled Ksey’s disveri the 1940s led to the velopment of the Ksey sle, a sle scribg an dividual’s sexual orientatn rangg om 0 (exclively heterosexual) to 6 (exclively homosexual) fascatg part of this sle was s allowance for dividuals to fall somewhere between 0 and 6, wh 3 scribed as ‘equally heterosexual and homosexual’.

In a perfect world, where heterosexualy and homosexualy were both valid and equal choic, surely we would see many more dividuals acceptg their homosexualy wh ltle need for modifiers such as ‘bi-ish’ and ‘not gay’ or ‘still explorg’?

ARE YOU STRAIGHT, GAY, OR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN?

Chanc are if you don’t intify as lbian, gay, bisexual or trans yourself, you might thk about what you’ve seen on TV – so Queer as Folk, Orange is the New Black, or The L Word, to name a few TV hs.

THGS ARE EHER TOTALLY 'GAY' OR TOTALLY OL

The Stggle for Gay Rights Is OverFor those born to a form of adversy, sometim the harst thg to do is admtg that they’ve Tsironis / RtersEdor’s Note: This article is part of a seri about the gay-rights movement and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprisg.

For this childhood fan, was a marvel: A sport wh heavily oiled men nng around spanx tights that was neverthels notor for crassly homophobic stereotyp now celebrat gay day seems to brg wele exampl of how Amerins are beg more relaxed about sexual orientatn. Sce gays began anizg polilly the 1950s—meetg secret, g psdonyms, and unr nstant surveillance by the FBI—their movement for legal equaly and societal acceptance has arguably advanced faster than any other Amerin history.

By the time Print Tmp took office, the sodomy laws that effectively ma gay people crimals had been repealed, the right for gays to serve openly the ary was won, and marriage equaly was achieved natnwi. After the ary’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was repealed, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a group that reprented gay soldiers discharged unr the directive, merged wh OutServe, an advocy group for gay ary personnel. Aga, ” clared the headle of a characteristilly psimistic Tim op-ed by the legendary gay activist and playwright Larry this glooms li the 2016 electn, which many gay activists believe threatened to halt, if not reverse, all of the progrs they have ma.

THAT'S GAY

At a time when Amerins are riven by tribal differenc related to polics, race, genr, geography, relign, and other factors, is hard to fd another issue around which there is so much nsens as basic fairns for gay people. It was an obv joke about Pence’s religsy and social nservatism, an example not of Tmp’s purported homophobia but the lack of rpect he has for even his most loyal followers, up to and cludg his own vice print, whom he is apparently willg to mock before a group of Whe Hoe visors. ”Perhaps fearg that few beyond their perpetually furiated base of die-hard supporters will listen, some gay groups have reached for dub statistil evince to back their claims of a Tmp-duced homophobic backlash.

THE STGGLE FOR GAY RIGHTS IS OVER

Days later, the Natnal Coaln of Anti-Vlence Programs (NCAVP), a group mted to batg antigay hate crim, published a report claimg a shockg 86 percent crease “hate vlence related homicis of LGBTQ people” om 2016 to fdgs would be alarmg, if te. Likewise, the portn of heterosexual rponnts who said they would feel unfortable “learng a fay member is LGBTQ” was 27 percent 2016, and rose to 30 percent the followg for the report on LGBTQ homicis, is unclear how many of the murrs clud the report were actually motivated by antigay anim. Acrdg to Walter Olson of the Cato Instute, who rearched the dividual cints, “ is hard to see any evince at all that the perpetrators were motivated by such bias” 16 of the 20 slaygs of gay men.

Earlier this year, an amic journal quietly retracted a study by a Columbia Universy profsor purportg to show that livg areas wh high levels of antigay sentiment rc gay people’s life expectanci by a dozen years. That so many people ially believed his story reflects the pervasivens of the sentiment that a ti of homophobia scend upon Ameri the time sce Tmp beme the 45th picture is different for transgenr Amerins. But is the nflatn of transgenr issu wh the gay-rights movement, a recent velopment and not one unrtaken whout some ntroversy among gays and lbians themselv, which acunts for much if not most of the evince ced as reprentg regrsn on gay to marriage equaly and other protectns for gays advanced by the Supreme Court, Jtice Anthony Kennedy’s “opns seem secure bee his jurispnce largely mirrors chang society, ” Saikrishna Prakash of the Universy of Virgia Law School told Poli, referrg to the former Supreme Court jtice’s majory opns the 2003 se strikg down sodomy laws and the 2015 se legalizg same-sex marriage.

The ia that gay Amerins might have achieved somethg approachg equaly go agast a central assumptn of the zegeist, which, this age of Tmp, Brex, and a risg global ti of natnalism and illiberalism, postulat that Enlightenment valu are on the cle. When I asked the Human Rights Campaign, the untry’s leadg gay-rights group, for statistics on the number of LGBTQ people annually nied employment, hog, or service at a hotel or rtrant due to their sexualy or genr inty, the group was unable to provi me wh any. ” Such language is sufficiently vague to enpass everythg om a stray homophobic ment heard on the street to beg fired, and is th not a eful gge of the extent of a problem remediable by ernment actn.
