WHERE DO ANTI-GAY PREJUDICE COME FROM?

Dpe the persistence of stereotyp that portray lbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several s of rearch and clil experience have led all mastream medil and mental health anizatns this untry to nclu that the orientatns reprent normal forms of human experience. Helpful rpons of a therapist treatg an dividual who is troubled about her or his same sex attractns clu helpg that person actively pe wh social prejudic agast homosexualy, succsfully rolve issu associated wh and rultg om ternal nflicts, and actively lead a happy and satisfyg life. The phrase “g out” is ed to refer to several aspects of lbian, gay, and bisexual persons’ experienc: self-awarens of same-sex attractns; the tellg of one or a few people about the attractns; wispread disclosure of same-sex attractns; and intifitn wh the lbian, gay, and bisexual muny.

If they are a heterosexual relatnship, their experienc may be que siar to those of people who intify as heterosexual unls they choose to e out as bisexual; that se, they will likely face some of the same prejudice and discrimatn that lbian and gay dividuals enunter.

Homophobia, stigma (negative and ually unfair beliefs), and discrimatn (unfairly treatg a person or group of people) agast gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men still exist the Uned Stat and n negatively affect the health and well-beg of this muny. Acrdg to fdgs om the survey “Discrimatn Ameri: Experienc and Views of LGBTQ Amerins, ” a majory of LGBTQ+ people have at some pot been the target of homophobic slurs and negative ments about their sexualy and genr inty, and most have been threatened or harassed or have experienced vlence at some pot bee of their sexual orientatn or genr inty.

GAY RIGHTS

For example, a 2017 survey nducted by the Center for Amerin Progrs, 8 percent of gay, lbian, and bisexual rponnts reported beg nied service by a doctor or health re provir; 7 percent reported that doctors had refed to regnize their fay, such as a child or same-sex partner; 9 percent reported that provirs had ed abive language; and 7 percent experienced unwanted physil ntact by a doctor or health re provir. For example, 1976, when Gallup asked rponnts how they felt about protectg “homosexuals” agast employment discrimatn general, only a small majory (56 percent) supported protectns, but when they asked aga 2008, the percentage supportg protectns creased to 89 percent.

Items like “It would be upsettg for me to fd out I was alone wh a homosexual, ” “I fd the thought of homosexual acts disgtg, ” and “If a homosexual sat next to me on a b I would get nervo” all imply an aversive and affective rponse possibly due to reprsed fear.

For example, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn removed homosexualy om the list of mental illns documented the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistil Manual) 1973 (Bayer, 1981), the Amerin Psychologil Associatn has taken a LGBTQ-affirmative stance sce 1975 (), and the Amerin Amy of Pediatricians published a statement 2013, sayg that LGB adolcents need healthre that is “teen-iendly and welg to sexual mory youth” (Commtee on Adolcence, 2013). Among them: the notn that homosexualy is somehow “unnatural”; that gay people are more likely to be paedophil or target children; that crimalizg homosexualy will tomatilly lead to same-sex marriage; or that equal rights for LGBT people will somehow ge relig eedom.
