Abstract

Men consistently report higher rates of homosexual behavior and identity than women in national population surveys of sexuality, a gender gap that has received little attention. Though women express similar levels of same- sex desire, they are far less likely to claim a identity or to report recent homosexual sex. This paper establishes the gender gap in homosexuality as a robust social by compiling historical and anthropological evidence and population surveys. It then evaluates two competing sociological explanations for differences in homosexuality between men and women: economic inequalities and differences in human . I tested these explanations with variables from the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) on the dependent variable of reported same- sex sexual contact in the past five years. The economic hypothesis is not supported, as none of the economic variables are significant. Some of the variables are significant: controlling for age and marital status, education and urban residence together explain 28% of the difference in reported homosexuality between the sexes. This paper considers the implications of human capital and the value of the gender gap for future research on the intersections among sexuality, sex and gender.

Introduction historically and cross-culturally persistent. I Scholars have frequently observed inequalities report two sociological theories that have been among the sexes in the social organization deployed to explain the differences in of homosexuality-men run more rights homosexuality between men and women: an organizations, lesbian bars and commercial economic hypothesis citing independent income as establishments are more rare, and gay men have necessary to express homosexuality and one citing much greater presence in gay neighbourhoods and differences in human capital. I then present community life, for example [1-5]. While early logistic regressions modelling these two explanations defined these phenomena as hypotheses, which show no support for the artifacts of the male bias in research or the result influence of economic variables but support for of gay men’s activism around AIDS [6], population the gap’s correlation with levels of education and surveys consistently show that men report higher urbanism. I discuss the implications of these rates of homosexuality than women. Rarely are findings for understanding the intersection of these two trends connected, however. Men are gender and sexuality generally and for twice as likely as women to report a gay or understanding gay and lesbian life specifically. bisexual identity, and are more likely to report recent same-sex sexual behavior. Yet when asked Evidence for Homosexuality’s Gender Gap about their degree of same-sex desire, women report higher rates than men. This gender gap In the 1990s several Western industrialized between expressed homosexuality and countries conducted national population surveys homosexual desire between the sexes has received of sexual behavior in response to the AIDS little explicit discussion, yet has important pandemic. Many of these deployed implications for studies of gay and lesbian life and multidimensional models of sexual orientation for the etiology of homosexual behavior and identity. the first time, allowing researchers to explore differences among rates of , This paper presents evidence that behavior, and same-sex sexual desire.
