Gay men are statistically likelier than the population at large to live in urban areas, and states with anti-gay political climates still have large communities of gay men in their urban centers. The most sparsely populated states, with the fewest cities over 200,000 people, also happen to have the lowest numbers on the charts. On the other hand, a case could be made for a correlation between population density and searches for gay porn. I just don't see any correlation there that holds up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

California and New York, both early adopters of LGBT rights laws, also appear to consume more gay porn than less gay-friendly Tennessee and Kentucky. The Southern states may all exceed the national average here, but so does Massachusetts, which legalized same-sex marriage a decade ago. By the end of 2015, that number is likely to go to 50. Same-sex marriages are now legal in 36 states, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The first thing I notice here is that the map is (happily) out-of-date. You can follow her on Twitter and Instagram. She is the author of American Hookup, a book about college sexual culture a textbook about gender and a forthcoming introductory text: Terrible Magnificent Sociology. Lisa Wade, PhD is an Associate Professor at Tulane University. Or, it may be part of that notorious “culture war,” a politics that supposedly distracts poor and working class people from their own economic interests by getting them to focus on so-called social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.Īs fun as it is to snicker at the fact that the part of the country that claims a moral high ground on homosexuality is over-represented in pursuing it (at least digitally), there’s also probably some pretty interesting social/psychology sociology here.Ĭross-posted at Pacific Standard. They may be doing so as a simple strategy. Or, it may be that politicians in Southern states stoke anti-gay attitudes in order to win elections. This is consistent with data showing, for example, that white racial resentment is higher in counties with larger populations of black folk.ģ.

This is one version of the contact hypothesis: the presence and visibility of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people threatens the norm of heterosexuality, increasing opposition. Another possibility is that both homosexual inclinations and anti-gay hatred are high in Southern states, but not in the same people. There’s data that backs this up in at least some cases.Ģ. So, out of fear of exposure, or fear of their own feelings, they are vocally anti-LGBT rights. This is the idea that some people express homophobic attitudes because they fear being non-heterosexual themselves. There is the (barely) repressed homosexuality theory, of course. I can think of at least three theories:ġ. On average, gay porn is more heavily consumed in states where same-sex marriage is legal than in states where it’s illegal, but every single state in the South has a gay porn use that exceeds the average in states with same-sex marriage.įor me, this raises questions about what’s driving sentiment against same-sex marriage and porn use and if and why it’s related. According to data released by Pornhub, 5.6% of porn users in Mississippi seek out gay porn, compared to 2.8% in North Dakota.
