Andrew, what sets GMT apart om other gay anizatns? Whether you’ve been divorced 3 tim and are aaid you’ll only have another toxic relatnship… or whether you’re over 50 and have never had a relatnship wh a man… or anywhere -between, the GMT programs have helped thoands of gay men attract the happit and healthit relatnships they’ve ever had their liv.

But there’s one group that has, for generatns, fied this trend: gay men. Hoehold surveys, I found that gay men achieve stunng succs across every level of higher tn. I found, for example, that about 52 percent of gay men age 25 or olr the Uned Stat have a bachelor’s gree.

Usg the first Department of Edutn study ever to asss stunt sexual orientatn, I also found that, pared wh straight boys om the same school, gay boys earned better gras more advanced class and reported more ser work habs and more amilly oriented close succs are all the more remarkable given the fact that many schools rema dangero spac for gay stunts.

Ined, the same data that documented gay boys’ high achievement also revealed them as twice as likely to feel unsafe at what’s the secret to gay men’s amic succs? Growg up, gay boys often feel like outsirs to the culture of masculy enforced by their straight peers.

Gay boys, however, answered very differently om straight boys. For the stunts, steppg outsi the strictur of straight masculy signifintly supported amic masculy’s expectatns were the only barrier to succs, however, gay men should perform roughly as well as straight women. Yet gay men outperform them, too, bee gay men don’t jt live outsi tradnal masculy; they often work particularly hard to pensate for not meetg those mascule expectatns — work that n lead to a measurable those nied the most tradnal avenu for “beg a man, ” pursug the kds of prtig reers ma possible through meticuloly high amic achievement n offer a way to shore up one’s standg.

”Amerin boyhood feels like a seri of masculy ntts, and even today, most of the l are stacked agast gay boys. As one of my stunts at the Universy of Notre Dame put : “I realized early on that I uldn’t change the fact that I was gay, but I uld change how much I studied for my math tt. ”As the Uned Stat fights to close s growg amic genr gaps, gay men have many lsons to teach about school succs.

Take the prsure off gay boys to be the bt ltle boy the world — but give straight boys the chance to be their bt, too. “I love gay people, ” activist and playwright Larry Kramer proclaimed at the outset of a 2004 speech New York Cy. ”A new study makg wav among LGBTQ-foced amics lends empiril crence to the inic Act Up -founr’s priful claims — not to the supposed sweepg superry of gay men, rather to the more narrow assertn that this group is remarkably cled to excel the paper, which was published the Amerin Soclogil Review on Feb.

20, to starkly opposg nclns about how growg up gay appears to affect the amic performance of mal vers femal. Courty Amy LevJoel Mtleman, a Universy of Notre Dame soclogist and the paper’s sole thor, found that on an array of amic measur, gay mal outperform all other groups on average, across all major racial groups.

Conversely, he nclud that lbians perform more poorly school overall and that Black gay women have a much lower llege graduatn rate than their whe unterparts. “This article is focg a lens on what we do to all kids, ” Lisa Diamond, a psychology profsor at the Universy of Utah, said of the societal prsur that appear to impe lbians school even as the strsors possibly unnerve gay mal to pensatg for homophobia through amic strivg.

The three surveys of Amerin adults nsistently dited that gay men are far more likely than straight men to have graduated om high school or llege, wh jt over half of gay men havg earned a llege gree, pared wh about 35 percent of straight men.

Some 6 percent of gay men have a Ph. Mtleman found that gay men’s nsirably higher levels of tnal attament hold even after takg to acunt differenc men’s race and birth horts.

What’s more, gay men’s llege graduatn rate dramatilly bts even that of straight women, about one-third of whom have a bachelor’s longudal survey showed that pared wh their straight male peers, gay mal earned higher GPAs high school and llege, enrolled harr class, took school more serly, had more amilly md iends and had a much lower rate of ever droppg out for a month or more. But Mtleman found this advantage was limed almost entirely to whe lbians, and among women born more recently, gay women’s tnal edge has erod.

But as nstrictns on women’s potential have eased sce the 1960s, straight women’s llege graduatn rate has risen to the pot of statistil pary wh lbians among today’s young Nancy Drew effect Searchg for the drivers of the differenc school performance between straight and gay stunts, Mtleman ed a mache-learng algorhm to intify rponse patterns to survey qutns that predicted beg male vers female among members of the longudal hort. In turn, he found that beg atypil for their genr survey rpons helped expla at least part of the gay stunts’ GPA variatn. This suggted that not jt sexual orientatn, but s tersectn wh genr affectatn uld have fluenced how well the gay and lbians stunts did school.

Gay boys, however, appear willg — even eager — to flout genr norms amics. “To the extent that ’s feme to study and appreciate validatn an amic sphere, the gay boys will have an advantage, ” Yale School of Public Health psychologist John Pachankis said. “Girls who prent as mascule are seen as troublemakers, are seen as spic some way, ” Mtleman ‘Bt Ltle Boy the World’ phenomenon An addnal factor that Mtleman argued driv the average gay boy to surpass even the average straight girl amilly is what’s known queer psychology as the “Bt Ltle Boy the World” phenomenon.
