Are Gay People Smarter Than Straight People?

Are Gay People Smarter Than Straight People? | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Last week, the MacArthur Foundation revealed the recipients of its so-called “genius” awards, a $625,000 grant dispensed over five years to innovators, visionaries, and trailblazers. Of the 24 winners this year, at least three are openly gay, meaning gay people are significantly overrepresented among the genius pool. The news has ledsome to speculate that gay geniuses outnumber straight ones, proportionally, in the population at large. Are gay people really smarter than straight people?

Openly Gay, Secretly Undocumented

Openly Gay, Secretly Undocumented | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Juan Ceballos came to the United States so he could live freely as an openly gay man. But the move came with a high cost: he had to take on another secret identity as an undocumented immigrant.  Ceballos was 17 when he entered the United States by foot, a backpack on his shoulders, easily passing as an American student through the Tijuana border. He quickly realized that, as an undocumented immigrant, it wouldn’t be easy to stay in the United States. And as a gay man, it wouldn’t be easy to go back to Mexico.

The Old Way to Be Gay: Gay Male Couples and Evolution

The Old Way to Be Gay: Gay Male Couples and Evolution | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Are gay male couples a new thing, evolutionarily speaking?  Simple logic would suggest that “gay genes” would not survive in the evolution of our species. Even if a homosexually-oriented man occasionally had sex with a woman, he wouldn’t be able to keep up, reproductively speaking, with a man who by virtue of “straight genes” felt highly motivated to bed women. And yet androphilic males—that is, males who are sexually oriented toward other males—show up in cultures around the world. Why?

Patrik Gallineaux has had the job of being Stolichnaya's LGBT National Brand Ambassador for three and a half years. When the boycott in the gay community began, it made him either one of the most valuable and key people in the Stoli organization, one of the most beleaguered, or, most likely, a combination of the two, but he is unflappable and cheerful.

Happy LGBT History Month from GLAAD

Happy LGBT History Month from GLAAD | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

October is designated as LGBT History Month. Although it feels like LGBT history is being made every day, it's worth noting that we have only achieved the gains we have today because of the toil and effort of those who came before us. LGBT History Month is an opportunity to look at the people, places, and moments that helped move the LGBT community forward on its path to acceptance.
