Current rearch suggts there is also a crease homophobia and homohysteria. Our study aims to explore how chang support of homosexualy have also changed the language of homosocial relatnships. In this ntext, homohysteria is fed as the heterosexual’s fear of beg thought gay when performg genr atypil behavrs.

Homophobia is fed as attus and behavrs that monstrate tolerance of sexual acts, inti, moraly, and the rights of homosexuals. To tt our hypothis that cisgenr heterosexual (cishet) men will e language monly xed and rrelated wh the language of women and homosexual men when teractg homosocial nversatns wh close iends, we analyzed 40 TikTok vios which featured cishet men homosocial environments, and rerd five 30–40-mute nversatns that took place eher person or onle via Zoom and Disrd. We found that cishet men, when a fortable settg wh other cishet men, seem to e lguistic patterns that are typilly xed wh cishet women and gay men.

The most puzzlg part: the #nohomo and #homiexual tags unrneath. In recent years, ntemporary pop culture seems to have an obssn wh homosexualy — jt whout the part that requir anyone volved to actually intify as non-heterosexual.

From the inic “Two bros stg a hot tub” Ve (Figure 1, re-upload to YouTube here), to recent onle disurse about men keepg their socks on durg sex acts wh other men to keep “no homo” (Figure 2), performative homosexualy seems to always be played for edic effect. However, wh the emergence of the phenomenon of men “playg gay” onle njunctn wh the troductn of words like “homiexual, ” we were cur as to the ways which language played a role homosocial relatnships, or the relatnships between cisgenr heterosexual mal.

Current lerature intifi three phenomena — homophobia, homohysteria, and queerbag — as re to the emergence of the inty of the homiexual, which, acrdg to the NYT volv “straight men who go beyond bromance and display nonsexual signs of physil affectn. Homophobia is an umbrella term for all attus and behavrs that monstrate tolerance of sexual acts, inti, moraly, and the rights of homosexuals (McCormack & Anrson, 2014).

Homohysteria volv the heterosexual male fear of beg thought gay when performg genr atypil behavrs (McCormack, 2011). Queerbag and gayba are the liberate sertn of homoerotic subtext orr to urt a queer followg whout actualizg the subtext (Brennan, 2018). Primarily, rearch on the subject centers on how creas the acceptance of homosexualy and creas homophobia and homohysteria have led to new terpretatns of what means to be a cishet male (McCormack & Anrson, 2010; McCormack, 2011).

Our rearch aims to fill the gap between the intifitn of the cultural phenomena and the analysis of specific lguistic forms and explore how chang support of homosexualy have also changed homosocial relatnships. There has also been some study of the ncept of “soundg gay” and the ia that non-heterosexual men, specifilly homosexual men, often x the speech of heterosexual men orr to seem “straight passg” (Gd, 1994). We hypothize that cisgenr, heterosexual (cishet) men will e language monly xed and rrelated wh the language of women and homosexual men when teractg homosocial nversatns wh close iends.
