There’s an interesting article to be written about gay men’s networks in SV But this is a homophobic framing that treats gay men in authority as inherently illegitimate SV has a sexual harassment problem & gay men with authority participate in it, but purging gay men would not end harassment

I don’t think there such an article. Gay sociality is configured into networks that resemble the social networks every other person on Earth participates in. Ours just happens to be of licentious intrigue because heteronormativity demands that gay people surrender our privacy to spectacle.

Gay male socialization is indeed fraught with harassment, abuse, and worse, and there is absolutely nothing that intercession from outsiders could do to improve it. I understand that’s not really the point, though; it’s only possible merit is that it may make for good exploitative copy.

I don’t mean to direct this stern lecture at you and your innocuous curiosity personally, by the way; apologies that it seems that way. These are just grievances at the general situation.
