Revision as of 21:20, 20 November 2018 by imported>Rangerkid51 (Adding categories)

Homophobia is the fear or dislike of anyone that is defined as having homosexual tendencies, or if they're a member of the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender group (LGBTQ) It can range from contempt to outright physical contact from people who oppose their sexual orientation. 

There are several sources for this intolerance towards homosexuals, such as from religious teachings, such as in "Leviticus 18" in which it states that it is an abomination to lie with another person of the same gender. This is dispute several critics pointing out that in the original translations the message was closer to "It is an abomination for a man to lie with a boy" or believe that the Bible meant something else when it described this law, and sometimes believe that an early person disagreed about same-sex couple and wrote about it in the Bible to prohibit it.
