WHERE DO ANTI-GAY PREJUDICE COME FROM?

Wh bate about same-sex marriag h people's mds, I thought I'd discs some social science rearch fdgs that attempt to expla people's support or opposn towards gay rights. Social psychologists Nick Haslam and Sheri Levy found that people who thk about the tegory "homosexual" as discrete, fundamental, and rmative are more likely to hold prejudiced views agast gays. People who believe that homosexualy is a choice rather than blogilly termed may not see themselv as discrimatory by wantg to elimate same-sex marriage.

On the flip si, if you believe that homosexualy is rooted blogy and nnot be chosen, measur such as Proposn 8 seem credibly unfair.

On one level the answer to this qutn is obv: lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) scientists are their laboratori all over the world dog great rearch.

For me, has never been a qutn of whether to tell people that I am gay, but rather of whether I want to expend energy on pretendg not to be. Yet as I look back over my 30-odd years as a scientist I really n't see any pot at which beg obvly gay has any way limed my choic or urse, I may have been particularly lucky, or sufficiently stroppy, that beg gay has been such a small issue my scientific reer, and lleagu have always been welg to me and my partner. LGBTQ (lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr [trans], queer) people by their very nature exist outsi of the sexual (and perhaps genr) bary and, often, the fay bary that any fai they create will be nsired “viant”—that is, if their children are not nceived by a “real” man and a “real” woman a heterosexual procreative ntext.

Many parents highlighted suatns which their young children enuntered peers who qutned or doubted their fay’s formatn or orig story (for example, their peers asked what a donor was or wonred how a child uld simply not have a dad), as well as peers who ed the word “gay” a negative way.
