This scene shows how being homosexual during the 50's, was a problem to society because it just wasn’t “right” to everyone around them. During this time it made it seem like because you were gay it made you less of a man. It was just a shame how ignorant and uneducated people were and what they thought during those times.

Kimmel argues that Guyland exists because of the need for males to escape the complexities of today’s world. Feminism, according to the article, can “make things confusing for men” and “all these uncertainties cause men to avoid dating altogether and opt for hanging out with women instead” (AOF). As one can see, there are similarities between Kimmel’s arguments of an increasing amount of males escaping the hassles of daily life through a Guyland mentality, and the sites statements that less people are dating and now “hanging
Homosexuals go through much turmoil and hatred once they reveal that they are homosexuals because of people known as homophobes.
