Anti-Gay Slurs Not Targeted Just at Gay Men
The childhood playground can be a tough place with insults flying faster than dodgeballs, and while some children outgrow the name calling, others never seem to. Hurling slurs as adults only exacerbates problems. The exploit of anti-gay slurs by heterosexual men against other heterosexual men is the focus of a novel study by Nathan Grant Smith, an associate professor of counseling psychology and chair of the Department of Psychological, Health, and Learning Sciences in the University of Houston College of Education.
“Our results propose that using anti-gay slurs may serve a status-protecting function for heterosexual men: When their masculinity is threatened, they may be more likely to punish other heterosexual men by calling them the f-word,” said Smith, whose findings were published in Current Psychology.
Smith, along with colleague Tyler Brown at McGill University, explored whether heterosexual men who had their status threatened were more likely to use anti-gay slurs against other heterosexual men. A group of 139 heterosexual male college students were randomly assigned to receive feedback on thei

Tracy Morgan apologizes for anti-gay slurs
During the show, Morgan said the issue of gay bullying was overblown, and suggested he would react violently if his own son told him he was gay.
In West Hollywood, the three-day LA Pride celebration began Friday. Many in the city are not laughing at Morgan's recent routine.
"Homophobia is one thing," said Identity festival participant Sharon Williams. "But the fact that he is advocating violence against his own child, and people have committed hostility against their own children who are coming out. I hope that he reflects on what he said and thinks about the impact on the community."
Tracy Morgan's comedy act in Nashville was a riff against gay kids, filled with so many slurs that clips of the show were removed from the Internet. But Kevin Rogers saw it in person.
"The violent aspect of that comment, I actually even thought at a point, well maybe he is at least joking about that, not that that's something to joke about, but that's pretty serious," said Rogers.
The /*Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation*/ (GLAAD) is demanding from Morgan more than the apology already offered.

Tracy Morgan Apologizes for Queer Slurs
June 10, 2011— -- Comedian and "30 Rock" actor Tracy Morgan issued an apology today for his vicious tirade against gay people during a standup show in Nashville.
"I want to apologize to my fans and the gay & lesbian group for my choice of words at my recent stand-up act in Nashville. I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of hostility against others," Morgan said in the statement. "While I am an identical opportunity jokester, and my friends know what is in my heart, even in a comedy club this clearly went too far and was not funny in any context."
Audience member Kevin Rogers, who is gay, wrote on his Facebook page about Morgan's over-the-top comments at the show. The item, titled "Why I No Longer 'Like' Tracy Morgan, stated, "I figured at some point the queer jokes would fly and I'm well prepared for a good ribbing of straight gay humor. I have very thick skin when it comes to humor; I can dish and I can take."
Rogers continued: "What I can't take is when Mr. Morgan took it upon himself to mention about how he feels all this ga
