B6 Misconceptions about Men who Have Sex with Men Example Responses: MSM are all the same. You can identify them by the way they dress and behave. Young men become MSM because parents did not educate them properly. The best way to get MSM to be cured is harsh punishment. In Cambodia it is illegal for men to have sex with men. 2. Divide into pairs and ask each pair to select one of the statements from the wall. Ask each pair to discuss: Is the statement true or false? Does the statement lead to stigma towards MSM? If so, how does it lead to stigma towards MSM? 3. Report back: Ask each group to report back to the larger group what they discussed about the statement. Did they decide it is true or false? How does the statement lead to stigma toward MSM? Then in a large group ask, “How can we challenge these misconceptions?” 4. Summary: Bring the session to a close by summarizing the main points which participants have made during the exercise. In giving your summary you may use some of the following points, if they have not already been mentioned by participants. 156
Understanding MSM All of the above misconceptions are stereotypes, negative things we say and believe about MSM based on partial knowledge and prejudice. In using negative stereotypes we describe and name another person or other groups according to a set of characteristics we believe are bad, labeling them as different from us in a negative way. Often we believe these misconceptions are facts about other people, when in fact they are false. This belief leads to prejudice, which can result in stigma and discrimination. As this exercise has shown, there are many misconceptions and negative stereotypes about MSM that lead to stigma and discrimination. Being a minority, MSM are particularly vulnerable to being s tereotyped. The truth is that MSM: can be found in all nationalities, classes and professions can lead normal, settled, moderate lives like anyone else experience the same feelings and emotions as men who only have sex with women are equally capable of deep, long term, loving relationships The truth is that MSM: are not “sex maniacs” have to survive in a very hostile environment at present, feel they lack rights and are powerless to demand fair treatment We need to understand and respect MSM as human beings. MSM are as fully human as anyone else and entitled to be treated in the same way. We have to accept that men having sex with men exists and is natural. MSM do not choose their sexual orientation, it is just how they are. 157
