“…It is important to recognize that there are different perceptions between young people and adults about inclusion and discrimination. McCormack, Anderson and Adams (2014) explain how the reduction of cultural homophobia and changes in the social organization of masculinity are affected by age. Nevertheless, despite the apparent contradictions between the present study and Piedra et al (2013), it is true that both have similar results regarding homophobic and heterosexist behaviors among male and female students.…”

2 Homophobia and heterosexism: Spanish physical education teachers' perceptionsPhysical education is traditionally a heteronormative environment, despite current studies highlighting the existence of positive changes in sport towards sexual diversity. In Spain, physical education teachers' attitudes towards sexual minorities are an under-researched area. The current study identifies physical education teachers' perceptions towards homophobia and heterosexism in their lessons, raising questions as to whether societies are hostile or more tolerant in regards to gays and lesbians in sport. This experimental and cross-sectional descriptive research involved 170 Physical Education teachers from mixed schools, using a modified version of the original questionnaire of homophobia and heterosexism perceptions by Morrow and Gill (2003). Results show heterosexist and homophobic behavior is apparent in physical education lessons, with teachers aware of these behaviours. Furthermore, it is highlighted that students use homosexually-themed language as an instrument to discriminate against gays and lesbians. This language use is not common among teachers, although when it is present, it is clearer and more frequent amongst male teachers.

“…Some were happy to "lose" their bisexuality in a relationship, while others felt the label was the best option for describing their sexual desires without stating any particular affiliation with it. The ease of coming out (see McCormack, Anderson & Adams, 2014) has quite possibly altered the value they place in their sexual identities.…”

AbstractDrawing on 90 interviews with men who identify as bisexual from London, Los Angeles and New York, this article examines how bisexual men from three different age cohorts remember first experiencing bisexuality, how they sexually identify today, and how this is changing with younger groups of men. By using an innovative recruitment strategy, the majority of participants are not affiliated with bisexual community groups or counseling services. Thus, it provides insight into how bisexuals outside of these specific institutional settings feel about their sexual identities. Findings support Savin-Williams's (2005) contention that sexual identities are becoming less central to the lives of younger generations,

“…Plummer (2010) has developed this idea more fully with his notion of generational sexualities. Indeed, in a recent study of bisexual men's coming out experiences, we argue that there is a generational cohort effect not only in how friends and family react to participants' coming out, but also in the gendered behaviours and sexual attitudes of the bisexual men studiedwith the youngest cohort eschewing the heteronormativity of the older generations (McCormack, Anderson and Adams 2014). Thus, just as argued in Inclusive Masculinity (Anderson 2009), changing masculinities are influenced by age, with inclusive masculinities being most prevalent among -but not limited to -young men.…”

“…Despite citing his book where the theory is developed (Anderson 2009), they refer solely to his research on male cheerleading teams to argue that "what Anderson's data shows is that the context is highly specific in regulating and determining the forms of masculinity that are sanctioned" (p. xx). It is surprising, then, that they pay no attention to the four other, multi-site studies that he uses to develop the theory in his book (Anderson 2009 Anderson and Adams 2014). Indeed, we are somewhat sceptical of their critique about context when they see no issue in their own data, drawn as it is from "a small number of male student focus groups" (p. ) from two universities in one city.…”
