- THE WEIRD SCIENCE OF HOMOPHOB WHO TURN OUT TO BE GAYCLOSETTHERE IS SOME REARCH SUGGTG A LK BETWEEN BEG CLOSETED AND BEG ANTI-GAY. BUT WHILE THE NOTN FEEDS MANY JOK, ALSO OBSCUR VERY REAL HOMOPHOBIA.SAMANTHA ALLENUPDATED NOV. 21, 2017 4:39AM EST / PUBLISHED NOV. 21, 2017 5:00AM EST PHOTO ILLTRATN BY THE DAILY BEAST2017 HAS BEEN A BANNER YEAR FOR THE ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGIL THEORY THAT ANTI-GAY PUBLIC FIGUR ARE SECRETLY GAY THEMSELV.NEVER MD THE LONG-NNG JOK AND MEM ABOUT MIKE PENCE VERG UP SOME SECRET HOMOSEXUAL INTY. THERE HAVE BEEN ACTUAL EXAMPL THIS YEAR OF OUTSPOKEN ANTI-LGBT FIGUR EXHIBG BEHAVR THAT SEEMS TO NTRADICT THEIR POLIL IOLOGY.THE SAME IA EMERG EVERY TIME: THE HYPOTHIS IS THAT THEIR BIGOTRY DON’T JT MAKE THEIR SEXUAL BEHAVR HYPOCRIL, ACTUALLY FUNCTNS AS A VER FOR , NSCLY OR OTHERWISE.RECENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN FORMER OH STATE REP. WLEY GOODMAN, WHO RIGNED LATE LAST WEEK AFTER ME OUT THAT HE HAD HAD SEX WH A MAN HIS OFFICE. IN MARCH, FORMER OKLAHOMA STATE SEN. RALPH SHORTEY RIGNED AFTER BEG H WH CHILD PROSTUTN CHARG FOR ALLEGEDLY SOLICG SEX OM A 17-YEAR-OLD BOY. SHORTEY HAS REPORTEDLY CID THIS WEEK TO PLEAD GUILTY TO A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKG CHARGE.BOTH GOODMAN AND SHORTEY ARE MARRIED MEN WHO WERE CLEAR POLIL OPPONENTS OF THE LGBT MUNY WHILE OFFICE. AFTER SHORTEY WAS ARRTED, THE ASSOCIATED PRS NOTED THAT HE “ROUTELY” VOTED FOR ANTI-LGBT BILLS, QUOTG THE DIRECTOR OF THE LGBT ADVOCY ANIZATN FREEDOM OKLAHOMA WHO SAID, “HE WAS NEVER VRLIC ABOUT , BUT HE WOULD MAKE THE BAD VOT.”MORE STRINT WAS GOODMAN WHO, AS THE COLUMB DISPATCH REPORTED, “NSISTENTLY TOUTED HIS FAH AND NSERVATIVE VALU,” WH A TWTER B THAT READ: “CHRISTIAN. AMERIN. CONSERVATIVE. REPUBLIN.” AS MORE RMATN ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED MISEDS EMERG—GOODMAN NOW STANDS ACCED OF FONDLG AN 18-YEAR-OLD MAN AT A NSERVATIVE EVENT, AND OF PURSUG SEVERAL YOUNG GAY MEN—THERE IS A CERTA GRIM THARSIS SEEG SUCH HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.THE LGBT MUNY WILL NEVER TIRE OF BRGG UP THE LONG HISTORY OF REPUBLIN GAY SEX SNDALS EVERY TIME NEW—AND CREASGLY UNSURPRISG—ALLEGATNS EMERGE, PRECISELY BEE THEY SEEM TO BE SO PREDICTABLE HDSIGHT.(AS GQ SARSTILLY PUT RPONSE TO THE GOODMAN NEWS: “ANTI-GAY OH REPUBLIN RIGNS AFTER, SURPRISE, HAVG SEX WH A MAN THE STATE CAPOL.”)A 2012 STUDY THE JOURNAL OF PERSONALY AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY GENERATED A FAIR NUMBER OF HEADL THAT YEAR—CLUDG THE NEW YORK TIM’ “HOMOPHOBIC? MAYBE YOU’RE GAY”—FOR SUGGTG THAT SOME SELF-AVOWED STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO SHOWED SIGNS OF SAME-SEX SIRE WERE MORE LIKELY TO HOLD DISCRIMATORY ATTUS.TWO THORS ON THE STUDY—PSYCHOLOGISTS RICHARD M. RYAN AND WILLIAM S. RYAN—WROTE THEIR ACPANYG NEW YORK TIM OPN PIECE THAT THEY HAD ASKED 784 LLEGE STUNTS TO RATE THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATN ON A 10-POT SLE AND THEN TOLD THEM TO SORT “IMAG AND WORDS DITIVE OF HETERO- AND HOMOSEXUALY” TO TEGORI.THE “TWIST,” AS THEY PUT , WERE SUBLIMAL FLASH OF THE WORDS “ME” OR “OTHER” BEFORE EACH IMAGE THAT N THEORETILLY REVEAL SUBNSC BIAS BASED ON HOW LONG TAK THE SUBJECTS TO SORT IMAG THAT DON’T MATCH THEIR SELF-SCRIBED SEXUAL INTY TO THE RIGHT TEGORY.THE RULT: THE REARCHERS ISOLATED A “SUBGROUP OF PARTICIPANTS”—MORE THAN “20 PERCENT OF SELF-SCRIBED HIGHLY STRAIGHT DIVIDUALS”—WHO “DITED SOME LEVEL OF SAME-SEX ATTRACTN,” AND WHO WERE “SIGNIFINTLY MORE LIKELY THAN OTHER PARTICIPANTS TO FAVOR ANTI-GAY POLICI; TO BE WILLG TO ASSIGN SIGNIFINTLY HARSHER PUNISHMENTS TO PERPETRATORS OF PETTY CRIM IF THEY WERE PRUMED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL; AND TO EXPRS GREATER IMPLIC HOSTILY TOWARD GAY SUBJECTS.”“TH OUR REARCH SUGGTS THAT SOME WHO OPPOSE HOMOSEXUALY DO TACLY HARBOR SAME-SEX ATTRACTN,” THEY NCLUD.THE PSYCHOLOGIL MECHANISM BEHD THIS SUBGROUP’S ANTI-LGBT VRL IS, THEORY, RELATIVELY SIMPLE: THEY ARE TAKG OUT THEIR OWN ISSU WH SEXUAL INTY ON OTHER PEOPLE. AS NETTA WESTE, THE STUDY’S LEAD THOR, SAID A PRS RELEASE, THEY “MAY BE THREATENED BY GAYS AND LBIANS BEE HOMOSEXUALS REMD THEM OF SIAR TENNCI WH THEMSELV.” SO IF YOU’RE AN AMERIN POLICIAN, THERE MAY BE NO MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROVE TO YOURSELF THAT YOU’RE STRAIGHT THAN TO TARGET LGBT PEOPLE.THE 2012 STUDY IS CERTALY SUGGTIVE. IT’S NTUALLY CED WHENEVER SEEMS TO APPLY TO A HOMOPHOBIC FIGURE, LIKE AFTER PULSE NIGHTCLUB GUNMAN OMAR MATEEN WAS MORED TO HAVE EQUENTED THE LGBT NIGHTCLUB THE BUILDUP TO THE SHOOTG. THERE ARE OTHER STUDI THAT HAVE E TO SIAR NCLNS. AS SCIENCE MAGAZE REPORTED AFTER PULSE, THERE IS A “STTERG OF REARCH” THAT SUGGTS “SOME NFLICTED GAY MEN MIGHT ED BE HOMOPHOBIC,” LIKE A SMALL 1996 STUDY THE JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY THAT MEASURED PENILE AROAL AND FOUND A LK BETWEEN “HOMOPHOBIA” AND “HOMOSEXUAL AROAL.” BUT THE KEYWORD ALL OF THE ABOVE LERATURE IS “SOME.” THERE IS, AT THIS POT, ENOUGH REARCH THIS AREA TO SUGGT THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHG EPER TO THE ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGY. BUT THE “SECRETLY GAY HOMOPHOBE” THEORY IS FAR OM BEG A PLETE EXPLANATN OF ANTI-LGBT PREJUDICE AMERIN POLICS. TWENTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO SCRIBE THEMSELV AS “HIGHLY STRAIGHT” IS STILL 10 PERCENT FEWER THAN THE 32 PERCENT OF AMERINS WHO OPPOSE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. JT BEE THAT 20-PERCENT SUBGROUP IS “SIGNIFINTLY MORE LIKELY” TO TOUT AN ANTI-LGBT IOLOGY DON’T MEAN WE N ASSUME SOMEONE LIKE MIKE PENCE IS LIKELY TO BE VERG UP A SECRET PAST AS A GAY CLUBGOER JT BEE OF HIS ANTI-LGBT TRACK RERD. SO-LLED CLOSET S MAY BE ABUNDANT, BUT THERE’S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT EVERY REPUBLIN WHO TRI TO LEGALIZE ANTI-LGBT DISCRIMATN IS HIDG SOMETHG.IN FACT, OVERGENERALIZG AND JOKG AS IF THAT WERE THE SE MAY HURT LGBT PEOPLE.ON TWTER, EDIAN CAMERON ESPOSO, HERSELF A LBIAN, HAS CRICIZED THE HOMOPHOBIC UNRTON OF THE NSTANT MIKE PENCE JOK—AND HAS LLED OUT THE MEDIA FOR BEG SEEMGLY MORE TERTED THE SALAC “HOMOPHOBE UGHT HAVG GAY SEX” STORY THAN THE MISTREATMENT OF LGBT PEOPLE WR LARGE. AS QUEER WRER LDSAY KG-MILLER WROTE EARLIER THIS YEAR, “MAKG FUN OF ‘CLOSET S’ ONLY RERC HOMOPHOBIA” BEE “UNRSR THE IA THAT BEG GAY IS SHAMEFUL AND SHOULD BE HIDN.” IN KG-MILLER’S VIEW, PROVIS AN “EXCE FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE” TO LGH AT A MAN LIKE GOODMAN OR SHORTEY WHILE STILL FEELG LIKE “THEY’RE ALLIED WH THE CSE.” AS BE LS AND LS ACCEPTABLE FOR ICS AND LATE-NIGHT HOSTS TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE JT FOR BEG GAY, THE RECURRENT TROPE OF THE CLOSETED ANTI-LGBT POLICIAN N SERVE AS A RELEASE VALVE FOR SOCIETY’S LGERG SUAL HOMOPHOBIA. THEY CREATE A NTEXT WHICH ’S SAFE FOR LIBERALS TO LGH AT HOMOSEXUALY.INED, WHEN I OVERHEAR JOK ABOUT THE S, I MIGHT LGH—BUT I’M ALSO WONRG HOW MANY OF THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE THE DIENCE ARE LGHG AT HYPOCRISY AND HOW MANY OF THEM ARE LGHG AT THE MERE IA OF A MAN HAVG SEX WH ANOTHER MAN. BEE THE LS OBV UNTERPOT TO THE THEORY THAT VILENTLY ANTI-LGBT PEOPLE ARE CLOSETED IS THE EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE OF VAR POLIL BACKGROUNDS ARE OFTEN LS OK WH LGBT PEOPLE THAN THEY LET ON.THERE MAY BE SOME TTH TO THE NOTN THAT LOUD EXPRSNS OF HOMOPHOBIA ARE A SE OF “PROTTG TOO MUCH.” BUT THE ABSENCE OF FURTHER DATA—AND A WORLD WHERE SEX BETWEEN MEN IS STILL A PUNCHLE AND OF SELF— MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.SOMETIM PEOPLE HATE THE DIFFERENCE WH THEMSELV. SOMETIM PEOPLE JT HATE DIFFERENCE. BUT EHER WAY, HATRED DON’T NECSARILY NEED TO BE EXPLAED ORR TO BE BATTED. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO GET ANTI-LGBT POLICIANS OUT OF OFFICE, AFTER ALL, THAN WAG FOR THEM TO GET EMBROILED A SEX SNDAL. SAMANTHA ALLEN

MAYBE YOU’RE GAY”—FOR SUGGTG THAT SOME SELF-AVOWED STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO SHOWED SIGNS OF SAME-SEX SIRE WERE MORE LIKELY TO HOLD DISCRIMATORY ATTUS.TWO THORS ON THE STUDY—PSYCHOLOGISTS RICHARD M. RYAN AND WILLIAM S. RYAN—WROTE THEIR ACPANYG NEW YORK TIM OPN PIECE THAT THEY HAD ASKED 784 LLEGE STUNTS TO RATE THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATN ON A 10-POT SLE AND THEN TOLD THEM TO SORT “IMAG AND WORDS DITIVE OF HETERO- AND HOMOSEXUALY” TO TEGORI.THE “TWIST,” AS THEY PUT , WERE SUBLIMAL FLASH OF THE WORDS “ME” OR “OTHER” BEFORE EACH IMAGE THAT N THEORETILLY REVEAL SUBNSC BIAS BASED ON HOW LONG TAK THE SUBJECTS TO SORT IMAG THAT DON’T MATCH THEIR SELF-SCRIBED SEXUAL INTY TO THE RIGHT TEGORY.THE RULT: THE REARCHERS ISOLATED A “SUBGROUP OF PARTICIPANTS”—MORE THAN “20 PERCENT OF SELF-SCRIBED HIGHLY STRAIGHT DIVIDUALS”—WHO “DITED SOME LEVEL OF SAME-SEX ATTRACTN,” AND WHO WERE “SIGNIFINTLY MORE LIKELY THAN OTHER PARTICIPANTS TO FAVOR ANTI-GAY POLICI; TO BE WILLG TO ASSIGN SIGNIFINTLY HARSHER PUNISHMENTS TO PERPETRATORS OF PETTY CRIM IF THEY WERE PRUMED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL; AND TO EXPRS GREATER IMPLIC HOSTILY TOWARD GAY SUBJECTS.”“TH OUR REARCH SUGGTS THAT SOME WHO OPPOSE HOMOSEXUALY DO TACLY HARBOR SAME-SEX ATTRACTN,” THEY NCLUD.THE PSYCHOLOGIL MECHANISM BEHD THIS SUBGROUP’S ANTI-LGBT VRL IS, THEORY, RELATIVELY SIMPLE: THEY ARE TAKG OUT THEIR OWN ISSU WH SEXUAL INTY ON OTHER PEOPLE. AS NETTA WESTE, THE STUDY’S LEAD THOR, SAID A PRS RELEASE, THEY “MAY BE THREATENED BY GAYS AND LBIANS BEE HOMOSEXUALS REMD THEM OF SIAR TENNCI WH THEMSELV.” SO IF YOU’RE AN AMERIN POLICIAN, THERE MAY BE NO MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROVE TO YOURSELF THAT YOU’RE STRAIGHT THAN TO TARGET LGBT PEOPLE.THE 2012 STUDY IS CERTALY SUGGTIVE. IT’S NTUALLY CED WHENEVER SEEMS TO APPLY TO A HOMOPHOBIC FIGURE, LIKE AFTER PULSE NIGHTCLUB GUNMAN OMAR MATEEN WAS MORED TO HAVE EQUENTED THE LGBT NIGHTCLUB THE BUILDUP TO THE SHOOTG. THERE ARE OTHER STUDI THAT HAVE E TO SIAR NCLNS. AS SCIENCE MAGAZE REPORTED AFTER PULSE, THERE IS A “STTERG OF REARCH” THAT SUGGTS “SOME NFLICTED GAY MEN MIGHT ED BE HOMOPHOBIC,” LIKE A SMALL 1996 STUDY THE JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY THAT MEASURED PENILE AROAL AND FOUND A LK BETWEEN “HOMOPHOBIA” AND “HOMOSEXUAL AROAL.” BUT THE KEYWORD ALL OF THE ABOVE LERATURE IS “SOME.” THERE IS, AT THIS POT, ENOUGH REARCH THIS AREA TO SUGGT THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHG EPER TO THE ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGY. BUT THE “SECRETLY GAY HOMOPHOBE” THEORY IS FAR OM BEG A PLETE EXPLANATN OF ANTI-LGBT PREJUDICE AMERIN POLICS. TWENTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO SCRIBE THEMSELV AS “HIGHLY STRAIGHT” IS STILL 10 PERCENT FEWER THAN THE 32 PERCENT OF AMERINS WHO OPPOSE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. JT BEE THAT 20-PERCENT SUBGROUP IS “SIGNIFINTLY MORE LIKELY” TO TOUT AN ANTI-LGBT IOLOGY DON’T MEAN WE N ASSUME SOMEONE LIKE MIKE PENCE IS LIKELY TO BE VERG UP A SECRET PAST AS A GAY CLUBGOER JT BEE OF HIS ANTI-LGBT TRACK RERD. SO-LLED CLOSET S MAY BE ABUNDANT, BUT THERE’S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT EVERY REPUBLIN WHO TRI TO LEGALIZE ANTI-LGBT DISCRIMATN IS HIDG SOMETHG.IN FACT, OVERGENERALIZG AND JOKG AS IF THAT WERE THE SE MAY HURT LGBT PEOPLE.ON TWTER, EDIAN CAMERON ESPOSO, HERSELF A LBIAN, HAS CRICIZED THE HOMOPHOBIC UNRTON OF THE NSTANT MIKE PENCE JOK—AND HAS LLED OUT THE MEDIA FOR BEG SEEMGLY MORE TERTED THE SALAC “HOMOPHOBE UGHT HAVG GAY SEX” STORY THAN THE MISTREATMENT OF LGBT PEOPLE WR LARGE. AS QUEER WRER LDSAY KG-MILLER WROTE EARLIER THIS YEAR, “MAKG FUN OF ‘CLOSET S’ ONLY RERC HOMOPHOBIA” BEE “UNRSR THE IA THAT BEG GAY IS SHAMEFUL AND SHOULD BE HIDN.” IN KG-MILLER’S VIEW, PROVIS AN “EXCE FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE” TO LGH AT A MAN LIKE GOODMAN OR SHORTEY WHILE STILL FEELG LIKE “THEY’RE ALLIED WH THE CSE.” AS BE LS AND LS ACCEPTABLE FOR ICS AND LATE-NIGHT HOSTS TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE JT FOR BEG GAY, THE RECURRENT TROPE OF THE CLOSETED ANTI-LGBT POLICIAN N SERVE AS A RELEASE VALVE FOR SOCIETY’S LGERG SUAL HOMOPHOBIA. THEY CREATE A NTEXT WHICH ’S SAFE FOR LIBERALS TO LGH AT HOMOSEXUALY.INED, WHEN I OVERHEAR JOK ABOUT THE S, I MIGHT LGH—BUT I’M ALSO WONRG HOW MANY OF THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE THE DIENCE ARE LGHG AT HYPOCRISY AND HOW MANY OF THEM ARE LGHG AT THE MERE IA OF A MAN HAVG SEX WH ANOTHER MAN. BEE THE LS OBV UNTERPOT TO THE THEORY THAT VILENTLY ANTI-LGBT PEOPLE ARE CLOSETED IS THE EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE OF VAR POLIL BACKGROUNDS ARE OFTEN LS OK WH LGBT PEOPLE THAN THEY LET ON.THERE MAY BE SOME TTH TO THE NOTN THAT LOUD EXPRSNS OF HOMOPHOBIA ARE A SE OF “PROTTG TOO MUCH.” BUT THE ABSENCE OF FURTHER DATA—AND A WORLD WHERE SEX BETWEEN MEN IS STILL A PUNCHLE AND OF SELF— MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.SOMETIM PEOPLE HATE THE DIFFERENCE WH THEMSELV. SOMETIM PEOPLE JT HATE DIFFERENCE. BUT EHER WAY, HATRED DON’T NECSARILY NEED TO BE EXPLAED ORR TO BE BATTED. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO GET ANTI-LGBT POLICIANS OUT OF OFFICE, AFTER ALL, THAN WAG FOR THEM TO GET EMBROILED A SEX SNDAL. SAMANTHA ALLEN
There is some rearch suggtg a lk between beg closeted and beg anti-gay. But while the notn feeds many jok, also obscur very real homophobia. * making fun of gay people *
Straight guy here but was havg a bate wh someone who said that the way straight guys are jokgly "gay" wh each other is sentially makg homosexualy the butt of the joke, s makg jok about a mographic who as a straight male you nt unrstand their stggl/issu, and by makg the jok you're implyg to each other that s okay to make fun of gay people? I see as straight men embracg homosexualy, makg themselv more fortable wh ? It isn't like the jok are " a gay man walks to a bar", we are the "butts" of the joke this sense, isn't makg fun of other gay men or homosexualy general?
Now I know damn well that if a straight person were to say “image beg gay. ” or somethg like that, they’d most likely get lled homophobic. But when a gay person says “image beg straight.
WHY N’T BRO EDI STOP MAKG FUN OF GAY MEN?
