Many people get married, including gay men marrying women (straight or not), for reasons of convenience and under social pressure, but also for reasons of pleasure and through choice. However, gay men who marry women are often blamed by the gay community for not being gay enough, or by health authorities for transmitting HIV and endangering society.DocumentSex and the rights of man
Institute of Development Studies UK, 2006This paper explores the subject of sexual rights and the claims about such rights as they are made by and for men. It asks: what can men's interest be in the social and sexual revolution being proposed by advocates of sexual rights? The first answer to this question is to recognise that some men's sexual rights have long been violated.Pages
