Another Casualty of Homophobia: Platonic Male Affectn. As we were seated at the table, our host, a maternal and physilly affectnate gay man, ntually petted as he brought agrant Sephardic food to the table.
This is mon among gay men and th did not surprise me. Of urse, Mederranean cultur like Spa and Italy posss a higher gree of male homosocial fort— is not at all strange there to see two men walkg wh their arms around one another, sleepg on each other’s shoulr, holdg hands, or even sharg a quick iendly kiss.

In Ameri particular, if a young man attempts gentle platonic ntact wh another young man, he fac a very real risk of homophobic backlash eher by that person or by those who wns the ntact. Couple this wh the homophobia that ns rampant our culture, and you get a recipe for creased touch isolatn that damag the liv of the vast majory of men. Greene, a straight man, jtifi his support of gay marriage and general gay acceptance part for this reason—as long as any kd of male affectn tomatilly reads as sexual (and, given wispread cultural homophobia, threateng), men of all orientatns are sufferg and beg emotnally stunted by a lack of homosocial timacy.
As much as gay men have faced the bnt of homophobic vlence, straight men have been banished to a sert of physil isolatn by the same homophobic fanatics who police lbians and gays our society.
The rult has been a generatn of Amerin men who do not hug each other, do not hold hands and n not s close together whout the homophobic lm tt kickg . Ined, though many of the upl those pictur look gay to now—a direct monstratn of our morn skewed perceptns of male timacy—most of them were probably jt good iends.
