The All-New Homo Loving Hetero Man – How Teenage Boys Are Redefining

Arts, Health, News & Politics, Society & Culture

Bullying of GLBTI youth remains a very real issue. 30 years of data indicates Boys have used homophobia to prove their masculinity and distance themselves from homosexuality. However, Dr Mark McCormack’s new book, ‘The Declining Significance of Homophobia’ tells a different story. It seems the modern heterosexual male student is inclusive of their gay peers and proud of their pro-gay attitudes. Today, being gay does not negatively affect a boy’s popularity, but being homophobic does. http://markmccormackphd.com/
