The social construction of gay oppression as a determinant of gay men's health: ‘homophobia is killing us’

Relación actitudes-conocimientos sobre diversidad sexual en una muestra universitaria colombiana

“…Según la literatura consultada, el heterosexismo constituye una actitud, casi un valor, dominante en nuestra sociedad (Aguinaldo, 2008) y, sobre todo, en el medio escolar (Kosciw, Greytak, Diaz & Bartkiewicz, 2010). Debido a la predominancia de personas heterosexuales y a la casi total invisibilidad de otras expresiones sexuales, con mucha frecuencia la mayor parte de las personas considera evidente o lógico que todo el mundo sea heterosexual (Welzer-Lang, Dutey & Dorais, 1994).…”

"I Would Feel Uncomfortable if My Child's Teacher were Gay": Examining the Role of Symbolic Homophobia and Political Affiliation

“…This scenario may seem strange but can be an everyday challenge for gay and lesbian people all over the world. Homophobia is popularly defined as people who have fear, hatred, and anger towards gay and lesbian people (Aguinaldo, 2008).

The simple fact is that some LGBTQI2S+ people are treated by caregivers who are unaware or insensitive to their health care needs (Aguinaldo, 2008;Bonivicini & Perlin, 2002;Fish, 2006;Harbin, Beagan, & Goldberg, 2012;Hinchliff, Gott, & Galena, 2005;Mosher, 1999;Waldura et al, 2016). Situations arise where the (in)visibility of sexuality and gender diversity cause LGBTQI2S+ people to avoid seeking care, receive inappropriate care, or face prejudice when in care (Brotman et al, 2007;Harbin et al, 2012;Irwin, 2006;Kitzinger, 2005;Neville & Henrickson, 2006).…”
