Talking Parts, Talking Back
One of the greatest challenges of our times is that of lack of voice for abused bodies. These are the bodies of children and men and women who have inherited the brutalities of colonialism, plantation servitude and slavery and now re-live these miseries in the belly of a rampant global neoliberal and patriarchal capitalism. They are the racialized, sexualized, genderized and godless bodies that first took form in coloniality-modernity in conjunct…
Sports ideology, attitudes toward women, and anti-homosexual attitudes
Being Out
It is argued that being out to heterosexuals is a result of structural and individual conditions permitting one to be out, rather than a late stage in a process of coming out. The concept of coming out is largely applicable to the transition to adulthood while having little applicability to adult homosexuals. Data on 1,556 gay men are presented showing the relationships of being out to heterosexuals with income, type of occupation, area of reside…

A Probability Sample of Gay Males
Data are presented from a national probability sample of males interviewed by telephone and asked their sexual orientation. Of these males 3.7 percent reported that they were homosexual or bisexual. Homosexual/bisexual men were compared with heterosexual ones on the demographic variables. This sample produced larger numbers in those groups which appear to be underrepresented in the usual samples drawn from the gay world. These groups include thos…

Sampling gay men
In most studies of male homosexuals, there are sampling deficiencies that relate to subject age and sample sources. Data gathered in 1969 on 686 male homosexuals show that those who came out early differ on a number of important variables from those who came out later. Samples of young gays are thus likely to be unrepresentative of the total male homosexual population. Also, all extant samples of gay men appear to under‐represent those over 45 ye…

Sexual Orientation as Destiny
The article argues that social constructionists are referring to labels applied to sexual orientation while essentialists are discussing sexual orientation itself. Although a review of the literature shows that various labels are applied to sexual orientation, these labels do not markedly affect its reality. Sexual orientation, defined as erotic attraction rather than sexual behavior, is established at an early age and largely immutable in adulth…
Gay Children Grow Up
Homosexual Men and Women Who Served Their Country
The present work examines the effectiveness of United States military policies in excluding homosexual men and women from the armed forces by comparing percentages of homosexuals who have served in the armed forces with matched samples of heterosexuals. Interview data on 1,456 respondents from 1969 and 1970 are reported. The data show that homosexual and heterosexual men seem equally likely to have served in the military, while lesbians were more…
Defeminization and adult psychological well-being among male homosexuals
Parasuicide, Gender, and Gender Deviance
The hypotheses that gender-role nonconformity during childhood is associated with social isolation, which in turn is related to subsequent suicidal feelings and attempts, were tested. These ideas were explored in a four-group sample of homosexual and heterosexual men and women living in San Francisco. The data indicated that there was support for the hypotheses; however, childhood gender-role nonconformity was more consequential for the later sui…
Derivative Deviance the Cases of Extortion, Fag‐bashing, and Shakedown of Gay Men
Derivative deviance is defined as the victimization of stigmatized persons because of their inability to avail themselves of the protections of civil society without threat of discrediting. Whether there is a preexisting relationship between the victim and the victimizer affects the possible forms of victimization. When there is no preexisting relationship, victims must he identified by culturally accepted understandings of which places are devia…
Decision Making and Age Differences among Gay Male Couples
There appear to have been three major historical forms for male homosexual relationships: the Latin American model patterned after gender-roles, the Greek model involving a mature adult male and an adolescent male, and the modern form between males of approximately equal ages. The patterning of attractions among men of various ages is explored in a sample of 1,556 Chicago area homosexual males. The dominant trend found was for attraction towards …
Who hates whom in the great outdoors
We offer the hypotheses that social relationships in outdoor recreation settings are heavily influenced by the recreational technologies; that recreationists participate in clusters of technologically similar recreations; that users of more physically obtrusive technologies are resented by users of less obtrusive technologies, but that the latter are not resented by the former. To test these hypotheses data were presented from questionnaires comp…

On the Validity of Typologies of Gay Males
The classical dichotomization of male homosexuals into passive and active or insertee and inserter types is tested against empirical evidence. Data on the sexual preferences of 243 male homosexuals are analyzed to determine the extent to which they fit the insertee-inserter dichotomy. The fit between the dichotomy and the data is found to be very poor. The most popular set of sexual preferences is for all roles combined, both active and passive a…

Conservation
Membership in the conservation movement appears to be composed largely of upper-middle class occupations, especially professional occupations. In addition, it is primarily an urban-based movement that is somewhat isolated ideologically from the main streams of both liberal and conservative political thought. Data are presented on the members of a large Pacific Northwest outdoor recreation and conservation association. Further, the patterns of mem…

Urbanization and the gay life
Data are presented on a national sample of gay bars in the United States. Analysis reveals a diversification of type of gay bars with increasing urbanization. This diversification seems to reflect an increasing heterogeneity of gay life‐styles in the larger cities. The reasons for such diversification are the same economic and cultural ones that produce diversification among heterosexual institutions. Such diversity of gay life‐styles appears to …

The Null Relationship Between Teaching and Research
Analysis of the data from a survey of members of a university faculty and of student attitudes toward this faculty indicate no relationship between student-rated adequacy of teaching and the extent of a teacher's scholarly activity. It appeared that student criteria for determining an instructor's adequacy consisted largely of evaluations of the instructor's style. Research activity by faculty was related to content variables such as course diffi…

Evolving Sources of Happiness for Men over the Life Cycle
Participation in the diverse institutional spheres of industrial society requires that individuals coordinate their competing obligations in varying ways at different stages of the life cycle. Because of the rigidity of the work commitments of males it seems that they tend to change their definitions of happiness, rather than their behaviors. Happiness is constantly redefined to be consistent with one's positions in the different institutional sp…
Social Class and Delinquency
The diversity of findings on the class-delinquency relationship may reflect differential middle-class cultural dominance in school systems. In predominantly middle-class schools, the minority of working-class youth conform to the majority standards and the relationship does not hold. In more class heterogeneous schools a cross-class cultural diffusion occurs among youth such that objective class status no longer is predictive of delinquency. In p…
A By-Product Theory of Primary Behavior
Family Localism and Social Participation
The hypothesis of the social participation career has two main sources of variation, occupational career and family life cycle. This paper explores the effects of stage in family life cycle on social participation. It is concluded that high social participation is facilitated by marriage but inhibited by the family. The form of particpation consistent with the family is home localism

Occupational Level and the Love of Money
As an alternative to the embourgeoisement hypothesis, Goldethorpe, et al., have advanced the notion that the modern working class is privatized in social relations and money-oriented in culture. The present paper addresses itself to this latter point of money-orientedness. Presenting data from a 1973 national survey, the findings support the idea that semi-skilled and unskilled workers place a greater emphasis on money than do other occupational …

Structural Dissensus in the Therapeutic Community
A common assumption regarding the psychiatric therapeutic community is that all ward staff must share in a consensually validated notion of what is wrong with each (Abroms, 1969). We present data on two related issues: the direction and extent to which staff consensusldissensus on patient functioning evolves over patients' hospital careers, and how structural variables such as occupational status and especially, shift-work, effect systematically …
