Abstract
Statistical tests performed on data from the largest sample of homosexual men to date question both prevalent stereotypes and data interpretations about aging homosexuals. The findings suggest the viability of several hypotheses regarding the experiences of aging gay males: that certain behaviors are related to subcultural opportunities, that various attitudes are associated with subcultural socialization, and that still other issues are understandable in terms of aging and cohort effects.Keywords
