Around the world lbian, gay, bisexual, trans, tersex and queer dividuals are subjected to vlence and timidatn based on their real or perceived sexualy, genr inty or exprsn.
For example, people who intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, or another sexual mory inty (e. Acrdg to Sigmund Frd’s theory of psychosexual velopment, humans were nately bisexual and beme heterosexual or homosexual based on childhood experienc wh parents (Frd, 1905). Frd theorized that homosexualy was a rult of problems that arise durg psychosexual velopment, such as boys beg overly attached to and intifyg wh their mother stead of their father, feelg tense stratn anxiety that leads boys to reject women bee they are “strated, ” and narcissistic self-obssn that leads boys to choose an object of attractn that rembl themselv (Lew, 1988).

In later wrgs, Frd (1935) asserted that homosexualy was not a “vice, ” “gradatn, ” or “illns.
” Rather, he seemed to view homosexualy as an atypil variatn sexualy due to unrolved trapsychic nflicts durg childhood psychosexual velopment.
Psychoanalysts who followed Frd, cludg Sandor Rado, Irvg Bieber, and Charl Soris, took pathologil views regardg homosexualy and asserted that homosexualy uld be cured through psychoanalysis (Drcher, 2015). Bieber (1962, 1967, 1969) claimed that male homosexualy was ed by boys havg a posssive and overly volved mother, as well as a hostile or distant father; the dynamics led boys to bond wh their mother and prevented them om velopg their masculy, which led him to effemate homosexualy.

For female homosexualy, Bieber (1967, 1969) claimed was ed by var parent-child relatnship dynamics, such as mothers beg overly rejectg and cril of their dghters, showg ltle warmth and affectn; this, bed wh “femizg” behavrs, such as not drsg their dghter pretty cloth and not teachg her okg and hoekeepg skills, ntributed to homosexualy. Bieber (1962) also claimed that 27% of the patients his clil study were cured of their homosexualy.
Soris (1968) also mataed that homosexualy was an “illns” and “perversn” (p. Soris (1978) found a 44% succs rate curg patients of their homosexualy.
