While Maxen is believed to be the first male ach to have e out publicly as gay, there have been a few female ach U. When to players, there have only been 16 the history of the NFL to e out as gay or bisexual as of September 2022, per Outsports.

A study published by Statista 2017 termed that about only one 100 Amerin women, and two 100 Amerin men, intify as gay: Put another way, that’s 1% of the U. For the first time, rearchers have nfirmed another gap exists, this one impactg gay, lbian and bisexual people studyg and workg STEM.

THE NEW STEM GAP: STUDY CONFIRMS GAY MEN ARE LS LIKELY THAN STRAIGHT MEN TO BE IN STEM FIELDS

Ten days ago, Vanrbilt Universy announced two enomists had nclud that gay men same-sex upl are 12% ls likely to have a STEM-related bachelor’s gree than straight and bisexual men whose partners were women. The enomists found that the sexual orientatn gap between straight and gay men is greater than the STEM racial divi, a 4-pot dispary between Black men and whe men. Among those same-sex upl, 1, 213 self-intified as lbian or gay women, 1, 524 self-intified as gay men, 1, 113 women and 426 men self-intified as bisexual.

” When asked about the total absence of data regardg transgenr people — given that someone who is trans also n be gay, lbian, bisexual, asexual, poly, pan or any sexual orientatn, Carpenter had this to say:. Sansone wrote their paper that this fdg suggts that the factors that perpetuate the very large genr gap STEM fields — “heteropatriarchy, implic and explic bias, sexual harassment, unequal accs to fundg, and fewer speakg vatns” — are related to this newly intified gap STEM fields between gay men and heterosexual men. He also nclud that misperceptns of all gay men as feme and all lbians as mascule ntribute to the sexual orientatn gap:.

WHY ARE THERE GAY MEN?

While female sexualy appears to be more fluid, rearch suggts that male gayns is an born, unalterable, strongly geilly fluenced tra. But nsirg that the tra disurag the type of sex that leads to procreatn — that is, sex wh women — and would therefore seem to thwart s own chanc of beg geilly passed on to the next generatn, why are there gay men at all?

For several years, studi led by Andrea Camper Ciani at the Universy of Padova Italy and others have found that mothers and maternal nts of gay men tend to have signifintly more offsprg than the maternal relativ of straight men.

The rults show strong support for the "balancg selectn hypothis, " which is fast beg the accepted theory of the geic basis of male theory holds that the same geic factors that duce gayns mal also promote fecundy (high reproductive succs) those mal' female maternal relativ. Through this tra-off, the maternal relativ' "gay man gen, " though they aren't exprsed as such, tend to get passed to future generatns spe of their tenncy to make their male herors no one knows which gen, exactly, the might be, at least one of them appears to be loted on the X chromosome, acrdg to geic molg by Camper Ciani and his lleagu. Mal her only one X chromosome — the one om their mother — and if clus the gene that promot gayns mal and fecundy femal, he is likely to be gay while his mom and her female relativ are likely to have lots of kids.

Prevly, the Italian rearchers suggted that the "gay man gene" might simply crease androphilia, or attractn to men, thereby makg the mal who posss the gene homosexual and the femal who posss more promiscuo.

But after vtigatg the characteristics of 161 female maternal relativ of homosexual and heterosexual men, the rearchers have adjted their hypothis. Rather than makg women more attracted to men, the "gay man gene" appears to make the women more attractive to men. The androphilic pattern that we found is about femal who crease their reproductive value to attract the bt mal, " Camper Ciani told Life's Ltle out, the moms and nts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and nts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displayg fewer gynelogil disorrs or plitns durg pregnancy; they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed; and they have fewer fay problems and social anxieti.

"It is que possible that there are several fluenc on formg a homosexual orientatn, " said Gelf Rieger, a sexual orientatn rearcher at Cornell Universy. But as for why geic factors would exist that make men gay, appears that the gen make women, as well as gay men, allurg to other men.
