POST GAY

A way to scribe quali or characteristics that may stereotypilly be regard as gay while simultaneoly implyg that labels based on sexual inty are unnecsary, old fashned or the Post Gay notn that homosexuals should be able to fe their inti by somethg other than sexual preference.

Get rid of your affectatns, you live fuckg NYC (or SF or Seattle or Paris or Berl), and there are like 5 neighborhoods where gay upl regularly hold-hands, unls your only iends are stock brokers 's no big al here, 's all about post-gay now! Tennsee state senator Stacey Campbell recently sponsored a bill lled "Don't Say Gay", that would make illegal to mentn same genr preference the classroom & require teachers to rm parents of stunts they spect of exhibg gay behavr.

Iran seems to hang gay people on a regular basis, Senegal's penal  lls for imprisonment of gay people and Senegale police regularly target gay men for arrt and extortn, as do other sub Saharan Ain untri that enforce laws crimalizg gay relatnships.

WHAT IS "POST GAY" AND WHAT DO IT MEAN?

So we n have our "Go Go Boy" ft on Santa Moni Boulevard Wt Hollywood, but I wouldn't try Rsia which has enacted very new anti gay laws as of April 8, 2013, or Lhuania which forbids gay relatnships by natnal law. They never experienced Duran's "Post Gay Era" bee don't exist any more than there is a post discrimatn era for any group or mory that has spent life tim, ed generatns, fightg for equal rights & digny but never havg really experienced or gaed them and never havg known te eedom their whole liv.

There are no feral laws protectg gays & lbians om discrimatn the workplace based on their sexual orientatn, 14 stat have anti sodomy laws on the books as "crim agast nature" & even as we approach 2014, there are Uned Stat senators & others llg for the ath penalty for gay men & women. The term gay is equently ed as a synonym for homosexual; female homosexualy is often referred to as different tim and different cultur, homosexual behavur has been varly approved of, tolerated, punished, and banned.

Morn velopments Attus toward homosexualy are generally flux, partially as a rult of creased polil activism (see gay rights movement) and efforts by homosexuals to be seen not as aberrant personali but as differg om “normal” dividuals only their sexual orientatn. The nflictg views of homosexualy—as a variant but normal human sexual behavur on one hand, and as psychologilly viant behavur on the other—rema prent most societi the 21st century, but they have been largely rolved ( the profsnal sense) most veloped untri. The Ksey report of 1948, for example, found that 30 percent of adult Amerin mal among Ksey’s subjects had engaged some homosexual activy and that 10 percent reported that their sexual practice had been exclively homosexual for a perd of at least three years between the ag of 16 and 55.

GAY

After the 1969 Stonewall rts, which New York Cy policemen raid a gay bar and met wh staed ristance, many homosexuals were embolned to intify themselv as gay men or lbians to iends, to relativ, and even to the public at large. In rponse to their activism, many jurisdictns enacted laws banng discrimatn agast homosexuals, and an creasg number of employers Ameri and European untri agreed to offer “domtic partner” benefs siar to the health re, life surance and, some s, pensn benefs available to heterosexual married upl. In one such stance, Albania repealed s sodomy statut 1995, and gay upl Amsterdam 2001 were legally married unr the same laws that ern heterosexual marriage (rather than unr laws that allowed them to “register” or form “domtic” partnerships).

Still others, notably those the public eye, had their sexual orientatn revealed the media and agast their will by activists eher for or agast gay rights—a ntroversial practice known as “outg. The disease also took a heavy toll on the arts muni the centr, and virtually none of the artistic output of gay men the late 20th century was untouched by the topic and the sense of great loss. However, most shared wh gay men the sire to have a secure place the world muny at large, unchallenged by the fear of vlence, the stggle for equal treatment unr the law, the attempt to silence, and any other form of civil behavur that impos send-class article was most recently revised and updated by Alison Eldridge.
