The Danger of Homophobia in American Culture

Homosexual phobia exists for a long time around the world. For example, during the Holocaust, homosexuals were forced to wear a "pink triangle" on his or her coat, a pink inverted triangle for identification. Of course, the pattern of homophobia appears not only in the history of the whole world but also in the history of the United States. For example, the Sodomy law was established early in 1963. This is a law that criminalizes certain sexual acts. Penalties for these laws vary from state to state.

The social norm of the African American community on homosexuality affected more African Americans of internal homosexual phobia. Since religion is an important part of the African American community, this gay culture is maintained in the African American community through church. According to the report of "Peterson and Jones (2009), AA MSM tends to be more than NHW MSM.The Church reaffirms the homosexuality of this homosexuality, so the intrinsic homophobia in the African American community The proportion is higher This internalized homophobia reduces the possibility of HIV / AIDS prevention and treatment in the African American community.

Homosexual phobia is a form of multifaceted prejudice. Stark, a tragic example of homophobia, is news and it seems to be with alarming grounds. However, there is also a quieter, more potential isomorphic phobia to guide the homosexual view to the tragedy of news creation. In many schools and families, young people may be punished by calling someone "foolish", but are students really encouraged to think and talk about homosexuality? In fact, even between other very good people topics of homosexuality are considered taboo, and that is rude. This attitude may bring some "tolerance" - but many of the words will be a little rude - but it certainly will not encourage acceptance, understanding and appreciation. We all deserve better treatment as well as tolerance and tolerance. This starts with education. (2009, 11)
