ARE HOMOPHOB REALLY GAY?

A seri of studi recently published the prtig Journal of Personaly and Social Psychology found higher levels of homophobia dividuals wh unacknowledged attractns to the same sex, particularly when they grew up wh thorarian parents who also held homophobic attus.

In the Universy of Rochter's prs release, Netta Weste, the study's lead thor, said, "Individuals who intify as straight but psychologil tts show a strong attractn to the same sex may be threatened by gays and lbians bee homosexuals remd them of siar tennci wh themselv.

Acrdg to the team of rearchers, this study is the first to document the role that both parentg and sexual orientatn play the formatn of anti-gay attus, cludg self-reported homophobic attus, discrimatory bias, implic hostily towards gays, and endorsement of anti-gay polici. They were then shown the words "gay, " "straight, " "homosexual, " and "heterosexual" as well as pictur of straight and gay upl, and the puter tracked precisely their rponse tim. Fally, the rearcher measured participants' level of homophobia—both overt, as exprsed qutnnair on social policy and beliefs, and implic, as revealed word-pletn tasks.

This ngence between implic and explic measur of sexual orientatn predicted a variety of homophobic behavrs, cludg self-reported anti-gay attus, implic hostily towards gays, endorsement of anti-gay polici, and discrimatory bias such as the assignment of harsher punishments for homosexuals. On Monday durg one of my regular yearly viss to my grandmother, she was watchg ITV's This Morng and on was Will Young wh Rosie Ellgham talkg about homophobic bullyg schools wh particular emphasis on the e of the word 'gay'. ), the topic was very much foced on how the word gay is always negative and should be eviscerated along wh anyone who don't agree wh jt me or do Will look knackered this image?

My school days weren't the easit time my life, but that wasn't bee of rampant homophobia was bee of rampant disablaphobia or whatever you would ll general mockery of the disabled.

You see, words are jt words, their meang is pennt entirely on the ntext of their the segment, Will said:I thk there are thgs: there's the word 'gay' has bee a negative nnotatn, 's ed a lot, 'that's so gay'.

I thk there's out and out homophobic bullyg, and then there's this e of the word 'gay', which has bee every day vobulary, people don't thk 's to here he seems to be talkg sense. The are the really harrowg statistics: 23 per cent of young gay people will try to kill themselv and 56 per cent will is of urse very tragic and somethg mt be done, but what's your pot? Most people I have spoken to and ed the word the different ntexts have unrstood the ntext and not sisted on tellg me how I'm stroyg society or killg childrenThe popular animated show South Park ma an episo on the e of the term 'faggot' Amerin culture and how is no longer broadly nsired a homophobic and abive term, rather refers to nsirate idts.

The problem of homophobic bullyg is not to suggt that the e of certa words is negative regardls of ntext, fact, such a msage n have the reverse effect as there is the ntuo promotn of such words as homophobic, therefore any e of will be seen as targeted at the neart homosexual. Counselg for those who may be subjected to homophobic bullyg, a strong stance of schools agast any and all bullyg and the promotn of LGBT sex tn alongsi heterosexual sex tn are the solutns to the problems of homophobic bullyg. Jt like you won't beat racism by preventg people g the 'n' word all ntexts, you won't end homophobia by banng any word that may even broadly apply to LGBT people a negative way.

Dpe recent gas gay civil rights, cludg the recent US Supreme Court lgs on marriage, the overturng of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, ” as well as the legalizatn of same-sex marriage many foreign untri, homophobia is alive and well both here and abroad.

Recently Print Vladmir Put signed an anti-propoganda law that rulted the recent arrts of several gay Dutch tourists and may give police the right to arrrt anyone who portrays homosexuay posively cludg LGBT teachers and parents ().
