OPN A NEW STUDY REVEALS HOW GAY MEN SEE THEMSELV AND THEIR MUNI

* sense of self gay *

It seemed like a turng pot for gay rights when, earlier this month, 74 percent of rponnts a natnal poll said that legal rights should tmp private relig beliefs, and 63 percent said that Kim Davis, a Kentucky unty clerk who went to jail for refg to issue marriage licens to gay and lbian upl, should have to fulfill the obligatns of her job.

THE POWER 'CHOOSG TO BE GAY'

What I know om my own life and om the work I do wh gay men is that gay shame is jt as pervasive and damagg as any outward, blatant, or homophobic attack. What I also know to be te is that by rporatg the followg five steps, we, as gay men, n heal any left over ridue of gay shame: * sense of self gay *

But for all the changg sentiments reflected s fdgs, the poll self was part of a long tradn of askg the populatn at large how they feel about gay people and the rights and protectns available to an illumatg and strikgly different survey, Logo — the Via Media work aimed at gay dienc — polled 1, 061 gay men between ag 18 and 49, askg them how they saw themselv and their muni and followg up wh smaller groups a number of ci.

And provis a fascatg look at how a risg generatn of gay men feels about gay history, the role of the Inter and some of the biggt ternal challeng facg gay muni. Gay publitns such as Harry Hay’s One Magaze surveyed their rears at early as 1961, askg them how often they had sex, whether they had arrt rerds and if they might enjoy rrpondg wh other gay men.

”And while marketers were eager to fe and try to unrstand a burgeong gay market, Gat utns that “They also had centiv to fe particular ways.

FDG THE ‘ANTIDOTE’ TO MY UNSTABLE SENSE OF SELF AS A GAY, CHRISTIAN ‘BORRLE’

… There’s a disproportnate attentn to some gree on gay men, slightly ls so on lbians, and almost no attentn paid to bisexuals, and that’s to a certa extent bee marketers don’t know how to thk about marketg to the bisexual muny. ”The only parable recent survey is the Pew Rearch Center’s 2013 survey of LGBT Amerins, which clud 1, 197 lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr adults and asked them about their g-out experienc and maniftatns of discrimatn.

While this first Logo study don’t pture the range of experienc of other members of the LGBT muny, like lbians, bisexuals and transgenr people, the rearchers behd were able to lve more broadly to the way gay men see themselv and their muni — wh some surprisg Hillhoe, vice print of sights novatn at MTV and one of the rearchers who nducted the survey, pared the changg attus reflected the rults to a journey up Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Sixty-one percent of gay men between ag 20 and 29 told rearchers that beg gay was eher extremely or very important to their inty (those numbers cled somewhat wh age).
