A new paper published in the peer-reviewed American Sociological Review is bringing new light to how growing up gay appears to affect the academic performance of males versus females. Joel Mittleman, a University of Notre Dame sociologist and the paper’s sole author, found that on an array of academic measures, gay males outperform all other groups on average, across all major racial groups. Conversely, he concluded that lesbians perform more poorly in school overall and that Black gay women have a much lower college graduation rate than their white counterparts. The study indicates this could be because of in-grained racial and sexual stereotypes projected onto the students by teachers. It has been noted that gay women, in particular lesbians of color, tend to be disproportionately singled out for school discipline and are overrepresented in juvenile correctional facilities.
