Question

How would you explain the existence of the irrational fear of homosexuality that is called homophobia? How does this fear affect social welfare policies?

Answer 1

Homosexuality is the irrational hatred or fear of homosexuals or homosexuality.It is a feeling towards homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, bisexual or transgender .In an environment of growing acceptance, we condemn homophobic feelings, particularly in men, because we think they come from inside the individual and are thus his full responsibility. A man who says hateful things about gays is “backward.” Just for the sake of protecting his social status,some have irrational fear to disclose their sex.The following conditions create irrational fear among them,that are ;

• .‘coming out’, only to be rejected by family members and friends
• For being taunted by schoolmates on a daily basis
• homophobic jokes or harassment in the workplace
• being threatened or bashed when out on the street
• hiding part of yourself in social situations for fear of being rejected or marginalised
• feeling guilt and shame about your sexuality in the face of negative messages being delivered by the society around you.

.However the continued existence of homophobia,occurs because the heterosexuality is so fragile.Male sexuality, on the other hand, is understood as unidirectional. . Indeed, Homosexuality itself isn’t a bad thing. Even if religion didn’t teach men to be scared of each other’s bodies, they would still be afraid of the way a brush with bisexuality can so suddenly erase the rest of their sexuality. The behavior homosexual people engenders is a perceptive response to a sick system, rather than a sickness itself.•
