All the gays
All Gays are Promiscuous
—Louise Perry, The Case Against the Sexual Revolutionnote The complete excerpt is a Downplayed Trope, citing a survey where only roughly a quarter of homosexual men reported extremely high numbers of partners. Yet that substantial minority's numbers are high enough to shift the statistical average for the whole group.
The homosexual version (and logical conclusion) of I'm a Man; I Can't Facilitate It, All Men Are Perverts, and A Man Is Always Eager. If all men constantly want sex, then men who are attracted to other men obviously must be constantly having sex. After all, there's no women involved to state no, so what's stopping them, right?
This stereotype is in fact the reason why queer people are called "gay." The synonyms changed meanings over the years from "bright and sho

All Gays Cherish Theater
"Homer, anyone who's ever acted in, written, or ever even seen a compete is gay."— Grady, The Simpsons
The stereotype that if a man is homosexual, he must love theater, especially musical theater. He'll know every play and musical worth knowing in a given season, will be familiar with every Broadway leading lady (living and dead), and owns the original cast recordings (they are not "soundtracks") of his favorite musicals that he sings with gusto. When he's not onstage himself, he'll religiously attend the performances in his city's theater district.
As one can fantasize, this trope extends all around. If a male is a stage star or is in any way employed by a theater company, or simply enjoys theater and listening to showtunes, questions of his sexuality will ascend quickly. This can be a Pet-Peeve Trope, though the degree of which varies. Most heterosexual stage actors and fans are secure enough that this sort of thing doesn't bother them (unless they're teenagers), but gay men who don't enjoy theater tend to chafe at being grouped with screaming queens who argue over whether Jennifer Holliday or Jennifer Hudson pl
Homosexuality: The countries where it is illegal to be gay
Reality Check teamBBC News
Getty ImagesUS Vice-President Kamala Harris who is on a tour of three African countries - Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia - has drawn criticism over her support for LGBTQ rights.
In Ghana, in a speech calling for "all people be treated equally" she appeared to criticise a bill before the country's parliament which criminalises advocacy for lgbtq+ rights and proposes jail terms for those that spot as lesbian, same-sex attracted, bisexual, or transgender.
The country's Speaker Alban Bagbin later called her remarks "undemocratic" and urged lawmakers not to be "intimidated by any person".
In Tanzania, a former minister spoke against US assist for LGBTQ rights ahead of the visit and in Zambia some disagreement politicians have threatened to hold protests.
Where is homosexuality still outlawed?
There are 64 countries that contain laws that criminalise homosexuality, and nearly half of these are in Africa.
Some countries, including several in Africa, have recently moved to decriminalise queer unions and refine rights for LGBTQ people.

LGBTQIA Resource Center Glossary
GLOSSARY
The terms and definitions below are always evolving, switching and often mean distinct things to different people. They are provided below as a starting indicate for discussion and sympathetic. This Glossary has been collectively built and created by the staff members of the LGBTQIA Resource Center since the prior 2000s.
These are not universal definitions. This glossary is provided to help donate others a more thorough but not entirely comprehensive understanding of the significance of these terms. You may even consider asking someone what they imply when they use a term, especially when they use it to depict their identity. Ultimately it is most important that each individual define themselves for themselves and therefore also define a phrase for themselves.
“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” -Audre Lorde
This glossary contains terms, such as ableism and disability, that may not be considered directly related to identities of sexuality or gender. These terms are essential to acknowledge as part of our mission to challenge all forms of oppress
