Matthew Todd is feeling uncharacteristically nervous. "It's a big taboo, we're expecting it to cause quite a stir," admits the editor of Britain's award-winning gay lifestyle magazine, Attitude. Above the obligatory cover shot of a shirtless Adonis-type torso, this month's mag is labelled "the issues issue". Todd has good reason to be wary of how it will be received. The theme is the worryingly high rates of mental health and dependency problems among gay men.
"There is this cliché that we are all having a great time partying, but actually we know, and the research is now showing, there are a hell of a lot of unhappy gay people; far higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicide than among straight men; far higher rates of self-destructive behaviour; substance abuse and sex addiction; and high levels of issues around intimacy and forming relationships."
well, nisam pretjerano iznenađen. nakon što je hiv-depresije osamdesetih nađen "spas" u pederskom konzumerizmu...
na stranu heteropatrijarhalno drustvo i homofobija, ali pederi su se sami takodjer sjebali...
any thoughts?
