CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
Homophobia is the fear, hatred, discomfort with, or mistrust of people who are
lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Homophobia can take many different forms, including
negative attitudes and beliefs about, aversion to, or prejudice against bisexual,
lesbian, and gay people. It’s often based in irrational fear and misunderstanding.
Some people’s homophobia may be rooted in conservative religious beliefs.
People may hold homophobic beliefs if they were taught them by parents and
families.Homophobic people may use mean language and name-calling when
they talk about lesbian and gay people. Biphobic people may tell bisexual people
that it’s “just for attention,” or that they’re inherently cheaters. In its most extreme
forms, homophobia and biphobia can cause people to bully, abuse, and inflict
violence on lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. Some LGBTQ people experience
discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. This may be
discrimination from religious institutions, companies, or from our government.
Examples include same-sex couples not being allowed to marry, getting legally
fired just for being LGBTQ, or not being allowed into certain housing.
LGBTQ people and their allies have fought for equal rights and continue to do so,
especially concerning marriage, employment, housing and health care equality,
and protection from hate crimes People dealing with internalized homophobia
may feel the need to “prove” that they’re straight, exhibit very stereotypical
behavior of straight men and women, or even bully and discriminate against
openly gay people.
Actual or anticipated family acceptance or rejection of LGBT youth is important in
understanding the youth’s experience of minority stress, how the youth is likely to
cope with the stress, and consequently, the impact of minority stress on the
youth’s health.19 This article addresses the role of family, in particular parental
acceptance and rejection in LGBT youths’ identity and health. Literature reviewed
in this article focuses on the experiences of sexual minority cisgender youth due
to a lack of research on transgender youth. However, we include findings and
implications for transgender youth whenever possible.
