When I came out of the closet as America's first openly gay high school coach in 1993, my loyal distance runners experienced overt and institutionalized homophobia. When one of my athletes was brutally beaten by a football player, the media sought me as a voice on issues of homophobia and sport. Over the years, I saw how much sporting culture promoted homophobia and misogyny. I decided to give up coaching and return to academia to earn a doctorate in sociology. Researching the experiences of openly gay athletes, I identified ways homophobia polices the lives of both gay and straight men. My research reveals how homophobia is on the rapid decline and forms of inclusive masculinity are on the rise. This cultural paradigm shift is permiting men of various sexual identities to experience a wider range of sexual and gendered behaviors.
Apart from calling me Mr. Anderson, likely a way of removing my intellectual capital, they do cover my book and theory fairly well. Nice big photo of the book, too. So why is the Mail being nice to me? Oh, wait: it's run by men!
