...when gay men tear each other down
Why are people so horrible to each other, especially people in the same community? Experts theorize it's a combination of factors related to the rise of social media, a generation unburdened by the worst of the AIDS epidemic and changing laws and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. As common enemies and threats fall away gay men may turn against each other to cope with their traumas, from lighthearted memes to cyberbullying to even the aforementioned revenge porn.

Heroes Alum Thomas Dekker Reveals He's Gay After He Says a 'Prominent Gay Man' Tried to Out Him
Thomas Dekker, best known for his roles in Heroes and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, has come out as gay.
The actor, 29, opened up about his sexuality, one week after he says someone tried to out him. “My sexual orientation once again came into question this week when a prominent gay man used an awards acceptance speech to ‘out’ me. While he did not mention me by name, the explicit details of his reference made it easy for the public and media to connect the dots,” Dekker wrote in a letter shared on Instagram and Twitter.
Though he did not name the specific person, the star was referring to Heroes co-executive producer and writer Bryan Fuller, who received the Outfest Achievement Award on July 6. In his acceptance speech, Fuller recalled an experience of trying to introduce gay characters on the now-canceled NBC show.

"We are strapped inside a cultural straitjacket"
It was probably coincidence that Robert Goddard killed himself on the same day that Margaret Thatcher died. On 8 April 2013, at the offices of Attitude (the UK’s bestselling gay magazine, of which I am editor), as we watched the world’s reaction to the passing of a leader who had famously attacked schoolkids being taught they “had an inalienable right to be gay”, 30 miles away Rob was reaching the end of his ability to cope.
Rob was the younger brother of Attitude’s advertising manager, Andy. In 2001, Rob stepped in to cover his brother’s position while Andy went on his honeymoon. He was cocky, bubbly, laughed a lot and he embodied what it meant to be a young gay man at the turn of the millennium: physically fit, athletic, happy. He also had that most important thing on the gay scene: sexual currency.
