MEANG OF GAY ENGLISH

Early socialist Edward Carpenter, who graduated om Try Hall 1862, was a leadg advote of homosexual equaly, exprsg his views publicly, spe the illegaly of homosexualy, a number of books, cludg Love's Comg of Age and The Intermediate Sex. Most people who uld nventnally be regard as beg on an ‘ageg trajectory’ (aged 50+), if not ‘olr’ per se, were born at a time where male homosexualy was, effect, crimalised, and where social and legislative ndns permted discrimatn across a wi spectm of domas for men and women om sexual mori. For LGBT people, and gay men particular, a theory of ‘accelerated ageg’ ntends that olr age is perceived as beg reached at a much younger pot than for heterosexual men (Schope, Reference Schope2005), and some studi of ‘olr’ gay men follow su, imposg relatively young thrholds on studi of olr gay men (Hugh and Dtsch, Reference Hugh and Dtsch2010).

Gay men aged over 40 are ls likely than younger gay men to take re of their sexual health (Williamson et al., Reference Williamson, Flowers, Knsen and Hart2009), ls likely to have been tted for HIV/AIDS (Williamson and Hart, Reference Williamson and Hart2007; Knsen et al., Reference Knsen, Flowers and McDaid2014) and ls willg to take a tt (Munro et al., Reference Munro, Lowns, Daniels, Sullivan and Robson2007). Figure 1 monstrat that earlier lerature foced on gay men and HIV/AIDS, before movg to clu exploratns of olr lbian liv; more recent lerature has foced on inty and muny and the relatnship wh health, as well as the way which age-related transns such as bereavement n terpt the relatnships. Siarly, several acunts Clover (Reference Clover2006: 46) reflected hostile experienc that olr gay men faced their teractns wh health-re provirs, wh one man scribg a vis to his GP after a bereavement of a partner: ‘He simply told me that if I don't feel life's worth livg that's up to me what I do, which mak you feel you're worth about half a farthg, que hontly’.

CAMBRIDGE'S GAY PAST: OM THE 17TH CENTURY TO THE FOUNDATN OF STONEWALL

Two of the studi emphasised that gay and bisexual men rema at risk of ntractg HIV/AIDS even at olr age, nfoundg earlier clil wisdom (Hargreav et al., Reference Hargreav, Fuller and Gazzard1988), wh Elford et al. Several studi reported that olr people anticipated or experienced active homophobia re settgs (Smh, Reference Smh1992; Heaphy et al., Reference Heaphy, Yip and Thompson2004; Almack et al., Reference Almack, Seymour and Bellamy2010; Phillips and Knocker, Reference Phillips and Knocker2010; Guasp, Reference Guasp2011; Lawrence and Cross, Reference Lawrence and Cross2013; Wtwood, Reference Wtwood2016, Reference Wtwood2017b, Reference Wtwood2017c; Willis et al., Reference Willis, Maegu-Hewett, Rahby and Mil2016; Kg and Stoneman, Reference Kg and Stoneman2017; McParland and Camic, Reference McParland and Camic2018).

Some studi suggted that the social works of olr lbian and gay people were stctured differently pared to those of non-LGBT people which may crease the risk of requirg formal, as opposed to rmal, re (Heaphy and Yip, Reference Heaphy and Yip2003; Almack et al., Reference Almack, Seymour and Bellamy2010; Kg and Stoneman, Reference Kg and Stoneman2017; Wtwood, Reference Wtwood2017b). Lawrence and Cross (Reference Lawrence and Cross2013) found this to be a mon aspiratn among olr HIV-posive gay men; meanwhile Trai (Reference Trai2016) found that the overwhelmg majory of olr lbian women her rearch (posed of a large sample of 350+) were posive about lbian-only re hom, ntrast to the highly negative ratgs given for mixed hom.

Studi nsirg the provisn of home re also suggted that genr and sexual inty of visg rers was important for many olr LGBT people, although this differed across the spectm, wh olr gay men likely to place more importance on the sexualy of their rer than their genr, while olr lbian women placed greater importance on the genr of their rer than sexualy (Kg and Stoneman, Reference Kg and Stoneman2017). For example, spe ncerns about possible experienc of homophobia and transphobia re settgs, only 72 per cent of olr LGBT people a recent study had taken any steps planng their future re (Kg and Stoneman, Reference Kg and Stoneman2017). For several olr gay men, the HIV/AIDS epimic had a vastatg impact on their iendship works, leavg substantial gaps and a feelg of premature ageg (Phillips and Knocker, Reference Phillips and Knocker2010; Owen and Catalan, Reference Owen and Catalan2012).

In the se of mercial venu, particularly for gay men, they were viewed as youth-orientated or actively ageist (Heaphy and Yip, Reference Heaphy and Yip2003; Owen and Catalan, Reference Owen and Catalan2012; Simpson, Reference Simpson2013; Cron and Kg, Reference Cron and Kg2014; Piatczanyn et al., Reference Piatczanyn, Bent and Soulsby2016), poundg difficulti (re)nnectg.

In other s, olr people scribed maniftatns of ternalised homophobia and mory strs creatg or matag heterosexual works, beg unable to prent as their thentic selv heterosexual circl and leadg a double life (Heaphy and Yip, Reference Heaphy and Yip2003; Simpson, Reference Simpson2013; Cron and Kg, Reference Cron and Kg2014). Suici was also found to be prevalent the narrative histori of many olr LGBT people ral areas, where ternalised homophobia, as well as fear of or actual experienc of beg voluntarily ‘outed’ to hostile muni, were attributed as triggerg suici (Jon et al., Reference Jon, Fenge, Read and Cash2013).

In addn to the experienc of heteronormativy and homophobia experienced wh health and social re settgs, a number of the studi clud addnal tails of homophobia, aggrsn and vlence that olr people faced their day-to-day liv. One study scribed the ‘psychiatric treatment’ that olr gay men and transgenr women had received earlier their lifeurse that volved staed and severe gre of physil and mental vlence (Dickson et al., Reference Dickson, Cook, Playle and Hallett2012). Experience of homophobic discrimatn was a theme across most studi, both earlier the lifeurse and on new grounds, particularly social re settgs, while exprsns of ternalised homophobia were also reported a number of studi, for example through nial of inty (Cron and Kg, Reference Cron and Kg2014).
