I … don’t for the life of me perceive why the gay people has decided to emulate an institution that doesn’t work for even direct people … It is laughable
This is what a 59-year-old black gay activist in Los Angeles told me of his views on same-sex marriage. He is typical of many older gay men who are bemused by the younger generation’s desire for marriage, reflecting the radically different experiences of those who grew up in far more restrictive and intolerant decades.
We know that generally older Australians are less supportive of queer marriage. In 2013, I interviewed a small international sample of men as part of my analyze on sexuality and ageing. Most of the men over 50 were dubious, if not opposed, to gay marriage, while most of those under 30 were supportive. While these results may not use directly to Australia in 2017, they are indicative of a generational split between young and aged gay men.
These older men have largely remained silent in the current gay marriage debate. I suspect this is because they do not want to be accused of betraying their own kind or exhibiting “internalised homophobia”, which for decades has been the accusation hurled a

What Is HIV & AIDS?

Why do some straight men have sex with other men?
According to nationally-representative surveys in the United States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the new book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom enjoy hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they relax a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly recognizing with straight culture.
We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.
