WHAT IS "POST GAY" AND WHAT DO IT MEAN?

Tennsee state senator Stacey Campbell recently sponsored a bill lled "Don't Say Gay", that would make illegal to mentn same genr preference the classroom & require teachers to rm parents of stunts they spect of exhibg gay behavr.

Iran seems to hang gay people on a regular basis, Senegal's penal  lls for imprisonment of gay people and Senegale police regularly target gay men for arrt and extortn, as do other sub Saharan Ain untri that enforce laws crimalizg gay relatnships. So we n have our "Go Go Boy" ft on Santa Moni Boulevard Wt Hollywood, but I wouldn't try Rsia which has enacted very new anti gay laws as of April 8, 2013, or Lhuania which forbids gay relatnships by natnal law. They never experienced Duran's "Post Gay Era" bee don't exist any more than there is a post discrimatn era for any group or mory that has spent life tim, ed generatns, fightg for equal rights & digny but never havg really experienced or gaed them and never havg known te eedom their whole liv.

For same-sex attracted youth of lor, the implitn uld be ls likelihood of endorsg any non-heterosexual sexual inty; on the other hand, uld mean that, rather than intify wh the tradnal tegori of “lbian” or “gay, ” they might prefer alternative sexual inti. ” The stunts advoted for the cln of “queer” and “qutng” as distct sexual orientatn tegori (see Diamond 1998; Horner 2007), addn to the historilly typil tegori of gay, lbian, bisexual, and straight/ sexual inty, participants were asked: “What is your sexual orientatn? ”Differenc Based on Ethnicy, Genr, Age, and GSA MembershipWe pared differenc between those who wrote- an alternative sexual orientatn and each of the other non-heterosexual inty tegori (gay/lbian, bisexual, queer, and qutng).

Our rults suggt that is wrong to nclu that gay, lbian, and bisexual inti are irrelevant to ntemporary the small number of participants who provid an alternative sexual inty to scribe themselv, ntent analys revealed two notable them nsistent wh prr work. Th, although we fd that some youth do not adopt the well-known labels, only 19 out of over 2, 500 were ristant to or ambivalent about them, far fewer than one would expect if youth are ed abandong the notn of “gay” (Sav-Williams 2005) or ristg (Sav-Williams 2008) parg those who wrote alternative rpons for the qutn on sexual orientatn to those who endorsed the provid tegori, we found no differenc based on race or ethnicy, nsistent wh prr rearch (Rosar et al.

Our fdg that 70% of non-heterosexual youth endorse LGB labels may, fact, be an unrtimate of the gree to which “lbian, ” “gay, ” and “bisexual” are meangful labels for ntemporary young people other regns, at least the Uned rults challenge the ia that diversy sexual inti—or ristance to them—is now the norm among adolcents (Sav-Williams 2005, 2008): the old labels appear to matter and have meang for today’s youth. IntroductnSocial acceptance of lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) people appears to be a spectacular illn that is largely propagated by the emergence of “gay-posive” reprentatns mass media.

IN CHIGO, A NEW APPROACH TO GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN WH PROSTATE CANCER

Such notns of postgay imagari ignore or rather downplay the persistence of (hetero/cis)normative climat and systems terms of their regulatory effects (see Wallg 2008) theory provis a lens to exame the lims and possibili of postgay as a basis for explorg the lived reali of genr, sexual, and romantic mori (GSRMs) the twenty-first century.

Throughout this chapter, the analytic and explanatory potential of postgay is explored through examg LGBT media verage and advancements GSRM human rights, postgay utopian assumptns, ntemporary youth’s intifitn choic, LGBT assiatn and diversy, and stunt-led club nam and inti (Lapote 2014, 2015).

A BRIEF HISTORY OF LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENR SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

I will also reflect on my own rearch as relat to the sights of Ghaziani (2011, 2014) and Wallg (2008) to further illumate the productive aspects of postgay the liv of GSRM People: Media and Human RightsWh creasg LGBT media verage and the troductn of more equable rights for LGBT people North Ameri (e. The sanctng of “same-sex marriage” or “gay marriage”—a tellg lloquial exprsn—monstrat how (mis)unrstandgs about sex and genr—on that are firmly rooted the male/female bary where sex and genr are perceived to be terchangeable—are routely employed to scribe same-genr partnerships; and how tolerance and assiatn, rather than affirmatn and celebratn, unrgird the advancement of LGBT rights North Ameri.

As such, postgay “may be marked by the acceptance of a segment of gays and lbians who are genr nformg, middle class, upwardly mobile— other words, those bt able to take advantage of the benefs of assiatn and the valorizatn of a particular type of diversy” (Ghaziani 2011, p. Do postgay mean that we are livg a utopian era of gay liberatn where acceptance of genr and sexual diversy is no longer a real problem and where homophobia, heterosexism, heteronormativy, and cisgenrism no longer are issu for GSRM youth?

Due to (hetero/cis)normalcy, intifyg one’s queer sexualy, genr, and/or romantic orientatn is a fundamental aspect of youth culture, and but one of many reasons why Wallg (2008) “spect[s] that the extctn of the ‘gay adolcent’ is more distant than Sav-Williams would have believe” (p.

The tensns between assiative tactics, and cultural prervatn, novatn, and refn illumate the pfalls and productive potential of postgay as a nceptual tegory terms of s explanatory pacy to fe the terms of a particular queer zegeist that is characteristic of the twenty-first century.

In short, by examg ntemporary queer intifitory labels the tegory postgay be more relevant twenty-first century disurse (see also Wallg 2008) Intifitn and ExprsnQueer theory provis a amework for terrogatg the lims of fixed inty tegori (Lville 2009; Sullivan 2003), and for engagg wh postgay sights as a means by which to subvert homonormativy (see Ghaziani 2014) by rejectg “labels of prev generatns” (Wallg 2008, p.
