Black Gays Make Up Largest Share Of LGBT Community, Survey Shows Contrary to stereotypical images, which peg LGBT people as disproportionately white, male, urban and wealthy, a new survey shows that the LGBT community is actually largely African American. According to the report, released by Gallup earlier this week, 4.6 percent of African Americans responded "yes" when asked if they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, along with four percent of Hispanics, 4.3 percent of Asians and 3.2 percent of Caucasians. "This data reveals that, relative to the general population, the LGBT population has a larger proportion of non-white people and clearly is not overly wealthy," said study author and demographer Gary Gates, of the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute. "It helps to counter what I think are some inappropriate stereotypes of the LGBT community," he added in an interview with USA Today. Others say the findings help to debunk stereotypes about blacks and Latinos being overwhelmingly homophobic. Related on HuffPost:
Vizit | Visual Reddit | browse the front page of the internet Vizit A visualisation of the subcommunities of Reddit, with associations defined by the cross-posting (known as an 'xpost') of common content (link posts only). For example, if two subreddits both had links to a particular YouTube video posted to them, that would count as an association.This map was created from data on all the links posted to reddit between Thu, 23 Jun 2005 18:50:02 UTC and Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:24:17 UTC, which was kindly provided by Reddit user Deimorz. The size of a subreddit on the map relates to the number of subscribers (as of June 29th 2013). Associations are only shown if there are at least 4 xposts since the first reddit post in 2005.

Nous sommes partout L’homosexualité est un sniper silencieux qui colle une balle dans le cœur des enfants des cours de récréation, il vise sans chercher à savoir s’ils sont gosses de bobos, d’agnostiques ou de catholiques intégristes. Sa main ne tremble pas, ni dans les collèges du VIe arrondissement, ni dans les zones d’éducation prioritaires. Il tire avec la même précision dans les rues de Chicago, les villages d’Italie ou les banlieues de Johannesburg. L’homosexualité est un sniper aveugle comme l’amour, éclatant comme un rire et aussi tendre qu’un chien. La transsexualité est un sniper silencieux qui colle une balle dans la poitrine d’enfants plantés devant un miroir ou qui comptent leurs pas sur le chemin de l’école. Pour ceux qui ont le courage de regarder la blessure en face, la balle devient la clé d’un monde dont ils n’avaient jamais rien vu auparavant. D’autres compensent le poids de la balle en faisant de grands gestes de Don Juan ou de princesse.

Par la suite, 18 personnes ont été arrêtées et emmenées au commissariat des Halles pour avoir manifesté leur soutien à D. dans la salle d’audience. UNE AGRESSION SEXISTE ET LESBOPHOBE Les faits ont eu lieu dans la nuit du 15 au 16 novembre dernier. «Je passais un coup de balai après la fermeture devant la Mutinerie, où je donne régulièrement un coup de main, raconte D. Un petit groupe de personnes était resté et ne voulait pas partir, prétextant que c’était public. «L’homme a continué: “La petite pute, elle va faire peur à qui? Une manifestation est en cours de préparation.
A Little Theory of Homophobia Heterosexuality in the U.S. is gendered: women are expected to attract, men are supposed to be attracted. Men want, women want to be wanted. Metaphorically, this is a predator/prey type relationship. Accordingly, women know what it feels like to be prey. So what’s homophobia? Of course, all that’s happened is that they’ve been demoted in the food chain.
A Feminist Guide to Gay Male Misogyny Marre des allié-e-s McGowan, Hilton, Banks Controversies: Are Gay Men Misogynistic? | The New Republic Usually portrayed—often simplistically—as ironclad, the bonds between gay men and straight women have been the focus of much debate lately. Actress Rose McGowan caused a stir last month when she described gay men as “as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so” and blasted gay men for not standing up more for women's rights. More recently, rapper Azealia Banks echoed McGowan's remarks as she reignited her Twitter feud with blogger Perez Hilton, once again calling him a “faggot,” all in the process of attempting to redefine the term as “any man that hates women.” While both women took flak for their remarks, it's too easy to dismiss their criticisms outright. McGowan is hardly alone in her belief that gay men are generally myopic about the rights of other oppressed groups. Certainly, the humor that gay men engage in can flirt with misogyny. This is reductive, to be sure. In his documentary, Do I Sound Gay? Perhaps gay men aren't beyond all that.
