Bee one of hundreds of our succs stori at Gay Man Thrivg. After workg wh thoands of men and experiencg hundreds of gay events… we have never seen such a powerful, lovg, supportive muny of gay men e together to vulnerably work on themselv and achieve their biggt dreams. Lifelong iendships are formed at Gay Man Thrivg and time after time our stunts say giv them the brotherhood they’ve longed for.

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.

If Ameri’s gay men, however, formed their own untry, would be the world’s most highly ted by men’s amic advantag don’t end unrgrad, eher.

Compared wh straight men, gay men are about 50 percent more likely to have earned an MD, JD or this pattern isn’t nfed to Whe gay men.

In every sgle racial and ethnic group I uld measure, gay men outpace straight men llege pletn by double men’s strikgly high performance is already well tablished high school. 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.
