WHAT DO IT MEAN TO BE A GAY MAN?

As every gay man knows who has been sulted or asslted for his actual or perceived sexual orientatn, there are steep penalti for vlatg the Boy Co as there are for anyone who is “different” om the prumed (typilly whe, heterosexual, middle-class) standard. How do a gay kid survive the trma he suffers for beg different a culture that still nmns his difference as somethg bad or “ls-than” and wants to mold him to the same shape tri to mold every boy?

‘I AM GAY – BUT I WASN’T BORN THIS WAY’

Robert Pollack says the most important thg a fay n do to support their gay son is to keep lovg him, “to nvey to him, as soon as he shar his feelgs, that he is still loved through and through, that his sexual orientatn will not any way dimish how much he is admired and rpected. Fortunately there is a long history of gay men who bucked the accepted fns of masculy and created liv that exprsed their unrstandg of themselv and how they choose to exprs their inty as men who don’t necsarily f tradnal molds. The late Harry Hay often lled "the father of the morn gay movement, " found the Mattache Society Los Angel the fall of 1950 for gay men to gather and ponr the qutns Hay had long been askg: Who are gay people?

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY

Hay didn’t tend the Mattach to be a polil anizatn per se, but a group that would e together to enhance their self-unrstandg and explore the ntributns gay people had ma to the human race through the ag.

AM I GAY?

In a 1987 say tled “A Separate People Whose Time Has Come, ” Hay scribed homosexuals as “spir people, ” who, throughout the ag, had served society their rol as “msengers and tercers, shamans of both genrs, prits and prits, imagemakers and prophets, mim and rhapsos, poets and playwrights, healers and nurturers, teachers and preachers, tkers and tkerers, searchers and rearchers. He said gay men look at the world differently, are uniquely nonaggrsive, nonpetive, oriented toward sharg and cled to velop what Hay lled “subject-subject” love relatnships of equals. They change their pronouns, go to school danc wh people of the same genr, and are more likely than any prev generatn to openly intify as gay, lbian, bisexual, transgenr or otherwise queer.

Often, young people don’t intify only one tegory, and thk of them as overlappg: “The majory of my iends and peers are bisexual or pansexual, more than jt straight-up gay or lbian or trans, ” said Jareth Leiker, a high school stunt Portland, Ore. In 2014, the basketball player Jason Colls beme the first openly gay athlete one of the four major North Amerin pro sports leagu, and a year later, Calyn Jenner, the Olympian and Kardashian, me out as transgenr. And while both groups reported hearg the words “gay” and “queer” ed negatively at siar rat — a data pot reflected terviews wh teenagers, who say they still hear “that’s so gay” school hallways — the younger graduat were signifintly more likely to hear those words ed a posive light, too.

WHAT ’S REALLY LIKE TO GROW UP GAY

Four charts showg that more young people today intify as gay, lbian or bisexual; more approve of gay marriage; fewer reported harassment high school; more say their school had a gay-straight alliance. About 70 percent of high school stunts who intify as gay, lbian or bisexual reported persistent sadns, acrdg to recent data om the Centers for Disease Control and Preventn, twice the rate of their heterosexual peers. Ahead of the Internatnal day agast homophobia and transphobia on 17 May, we asked our rears what 's like to be LGBT their than 100 submissns were sent via GuardianWns om all over the world.

HOW TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE GAY

Even some more nservative regns homosexual act between teenage boys is seen as the 'safer' way of explorg sexualy; so long they get married at their adulthood, no one r 's a closet! Photograph: JOERG CARSTENSEN/EPA Photograph: JOERG CARSTENSEN/EPAPenal § 175, outlawg gay sex, was of urse abolished s ago, we have openly gay foreign misters and other openly lbian and gay policians - and 's been legal now to "marry" your partner by mtg to a civil unn (whout some rights like the right to adoptn as a uple etc. But recent homophobic attacks agast Ban-Württemberg's proposed new school curriculum that clus the teachg of sexual diversy shows there's lots of rentment unr the urse, pared to havg to fear for one's personal safety on a daily basis, thgs Germany are pretty good.
