FELLAS, IS REALLY GAY TO EXPRS AFFECTN FOR YOUR HOMI?
Could gay guys be the ultimate wg men for their straight, male iends? * gay homies *
Homophobia is fed as attus and behavrs that monstrate tolerance of sexual acts, inti, moraly, and the rights of homosexuals. To tt our hypothis that cisgenr heterosexual (cishet) men will e language monly xed and rrelated wh the language of women and homosexual men when teractg homosocial nversatns wh close iends, we analyzed 40 TikTok vios which featured cishet men homosocial environments, and rerd five 30–40-mute nversatns that took place eher person or onle via Zoom and Disrd. We found that cishet men, when a fortable settg wh other cishet men, seem to e lguistic patterns that are typilly xed wh cishet women and gay men.

Primarily, rearch on the subject centers on how creas the acceptance of homosexualy and creas homophobia and homohysteria have led to new terpretatns of what means to be a cishet male (McCormack & Anrson, 2010; McCormack, 2011). Our rearch aims to fill the gap between the intifitn of the cultural phenomena and the analysis of specific lguistic forms and explore how chang support of homosexualy have also changed homosocial relatnships.
GAY SAN ANTON

There has also been some study of the ncept of “soundg gay” and the ia that non-heterosexual men, specifilly homosexual men, often x the speech of heterosexual men orr to seem “straight passg” (Gd, 1994). We hypothize that cisgenr, heterosexual (cishet) men will e language monly xed and rrelated wh the language of women and homosexual men when teractg homosocial nversatns wh close iends.
We analyzed 40 TikTok vios om pilatn vios on YouTube wh tl such as “straight guys beg gay guys” or om the TikTok tags “#nohomo” or #homiexual”. Fdgs om the TikToks n be grouped to three tegori: homohysteria and heteronormativy, genr rol and misnceptns about homosexualy, and the spectm, or lack thereof, of male timacy. TikTok creators relied on the ncept of heteronormativy, the assumptn that everyone is straight, as well as the normalizatn of homohysteria to create a edic effect.
While many black pastors nmn homosexualy om the pulp, the choir lofts behd them are often filled wh gay sgers and micians. The fact that gays and lbians often hold learship posn the church is the worst kept secret black Ameri. * gay homies *
Cishet men also played up homohysteria for humor by actg gay or htg at one another’s gayns, while simultaneoly exprsg disfort.
Heteronormativy also manifted self more subtly other ways: men filmed gay TikToks ont of their girliends, rercg the norm of heterosexual hegemony by g the ia of gay upl as a joke (Figure 3).
Other TikToks revealed the genr norms prevalent between male relatnships, as well as a clear misterpretatn of homosexualy by cishet men.

Cishet men, actg gay, often joked that their girliends wouldn’t “fd out” ignorg moraly (of cheatg on a signfint other) favor of producg a humoro effect (Figure 3).

They also hypersexualized gayns; many teractns volved words such as “horny, ” “sexy, ” and words relatg to the sexual ans, and behavrs such as moang or eatg a ssage. This hypersexualizatn often blurred the le of fort for those on the receivg end of a straight man’s gay advanc—many men were nfed and/or unfortable, as evinced by their facial exprsns or verbal reactns, even though they did not rist (Figure 5). The behavrs signal misnceptns, often harmful, about male homosexualy—that homosexualy is herently more sexual or ls ethil than heterosexualy.

On the other end of the spectm, they often played “gay chicken” ( which they ntued to act more and more gay until one person fally cracked) or tried to one-up each other acts of gayns.
Cisgenr and heterosexual men, teractns wh other cisgenr and heterosexual men, tend to e lguistic patterns xed wh gay men or straight women; the patterns clu higher tonatn and hedgg.
