BC Gay Men's Health Summit 2013
Health & Gay Men's Life Course
Call for Submissions: Presentations, Workshops, Videos, Panels
Thursday & Friday November 7- 8, 2013
According to life course theory, the process of adult development is inseparable from the historical time and place in
which it occurs. For example, coming out in this era of social media is proving to be quite a different experience than coming out
was in the midst of the AIDS epidemic. While there has been considerable research attention to coming out as a developmental
stage of gay men's lives, little is understood about the long term effects of the historical period surrounding it. Sex
Now survey shows that today's young men are coming out earlier than past generations, in a social climate that
appears, superficially at least, to be more welcoming than ever before. Yet, these same young men are
exposed to greater antigay bullying and violence in high school than previous generations. What
health outcomes might we expect to see in future years? Will these young men find resilience
against today's intense climate or will their experiences cloud the horizon? How will we know?
This year's Summit will begin a wide ranging discussion on development and the gay life span, its historical framework and
research challenges, in preparation for new explorations of the Sex Now survey.
We consider presentations on all aspects of gay men's health. Guest speakers will be invited to address the Summit themes.
Please consider how generational cohorts, historical eras and future trajectories affect your gay men's health presentation.
