WHY HASN’T THE GAY MUNY HAD A #METOO MOMENT?
Most gay men n remember the first time they set foot a gay bar: the awkwardns as they walked up to the bouncer, ID (fake or otherwise) hand, clasped tightly. But as the #MeToo movement rolls on, and the nversatn turns to nsent and datg dynamics between men and women, there’s an unfortable realy on the gay scene that also needs to be nonted. Acrdg a survey by gay men’s health chary GMFA, some 62% of Brish gay men have been touched or groped a bar whout nsent.
In the US 40% of gay and 47% of bisexual men have experienced sexual vlence other than rape, pared wh 21% of heterosexual ’s a culture of silence, and ’s not difficult to unrstand why.
