Implicit bias among gay men as a community.

We Never Know

No Slack
With all the talk about bias and such toward LGBTQ, seems they(gay men)are bias toward one another. When bias is a problem for a group and they themselves are bias, the problem becomes cloudy IMO.

Gay men discriminate against feminine gay men, new study finds

"Both gay men and heterosexual men prefer masculine-presenting men for high-status roles, according to a new study from the University of Sydney, leaving more feminine-presenting gay men disadvantaged and facing internal bias, prejudice and potential discrimination in the workplace, including in hiring practices and promotion opportunities.

The research published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Sex Roles is believed to be the first experimental study to demonstrate status costs for gay men who present with more feminine than masculine qualities across workplace hierarchies. It also demonstrates implicit bias among gay men as a community."

Meh....I knew about this long before any sophisticated study.
Other discrimination I'd heard of:
Light skinned towards dark skinned blacks.
All groups have their prejudices.

It's a well-known trend among gays. Also applies to dating behaviors. Interesting to see it quantified in formal research.
