"WE'RE DISGTED WH QUEERS, NOT FEARFUL OF THEM": THE INTERRELATNSHIPS AMONG DISGT, GAY MEN'S SEXUAL BEHAVR, AND HOMONEGATIVY

Usg a batn of personal reflectns, published lerature, and origal empiril rearch, we argue that the disgt triggered by gay men's sexual practic (specifilly, anal terurse) is a cril, though overlooked, ntributor to heterosexual men and women's homonegativy (i. It has bee accepted wisdom most pole circl – as well as schools, ernment, rporate Ameri, and certaly the popular culture – that homosexual behavr is a normal and natural variatn of life. As Gabriel Rotello—thor of Sexual Elogy: AIDS and the Dty of Gay Men and founr of OutWeek Magaze—wrote, “sexual brotherhood of promiscuy … any abandonment of that promiscuy would amount to a munal betrayal of gargantuan proportns.

Rotello also said, “A stranger to gay culture, unaware of the realy of AIDS, might believe om much of the gay prs that HIV fectn was a sort of elixir that produced high self-teem, solved long-standg psychologil and substance abe problems, and enhanced physil appearance … creatg the subnsc imprsn that fectn—the ‘penalty’ of unsafe sex—is really not so bad after all. But even though the nversatns that muted this lumn for six weeks are nowhere close to beg over, I do feel like some thgs that me up durg that time of ntemplatn are worth sayg now — particularly to my fellow whe gay cis out more stori on LGBTQ+ ins and activistsHowever, the ghost of Larry Kramer very much remaed my own head as I ma my way through a Pri month unlike any other.

I THK GAYS ARE DISGTG, BUT STILL TREAT THEM AS NORMAL PEOPLE. AM I A BAD PERSON?

Followg a man his late 30s (based on Kramer himself) who is seekg out a lovg, long-term relatnship a sea of hedonism, the novel has a clear msage: gay men need to start lovg each other stead of beg so obssed wh gettg fucked up and (lerally and figuratively) fuckg each other. In mastream gay media, the phrase almost always refers to a fairly specific subset of the LGBTQ "muny" largely ma up of whe gay cis men — even though many of the battl won around queer rights were fought by people of lour, trans and genr-nonnformg folks, and queer women, and fact the morn Pri movement self was large part iated by Black trans women. If an imprsn of a monolhic "gay culture" fed by such a homogeneo mographic exists, is bee whe gay cis men have until very recently domated mastream reprentatn unr the LGBTQ umbrella and have, general, been hand a level of privilege the last that is wildly disproportnate to any other mographic unr said umbrella.

Assumg you have neher the time nor the tert readg through more than 650 onle ments on the issue of homosexualy and moraly posted jt this week to Change of Subject, let me offer, below, the top 7 arguments om rears who supported the posn of Gen.

Gay activists assume that the differentially elevated levels of mental health problems are a rult of social and stctural stigmas aimed at homosexual people by a heterosexual, homophobic society, rather than havg anythg to do wh the homosexual experience per se.

In other words, uld be that the elevated levels of mental health problems experienced by homosexual people are simply an direct rult of beg homosexual a heterosexual world, rather than a rult of social and stctural stigmas created by a homophobic, heterosexual majory?
