Homophobia

Homophobia is the fear, dislike, hatred or prejudice against anyone that is defined as having homosexual tendencies. It can also mean the fear, dislike, hatred, or prejudice against LGBTQ+ people in general. It can range from contempt to outright physical contact or even murder from people who oppose their sexual orientation. It doesn't make somebody a villain by itself, but many people committed many crimes towards homosexual people.

“	Not only is homosexuality a sin, but anyone who supports fags is just as guilty as they are. You are both worthy of death.	„
	~ Fred Phelps

There are several sources for this intolerance towards homosexuals, such as from religious teachings, such as in Lot's story in the Quran and "Leviticus 18" in which it states that it is an abomination to lie with another person of the same gender. There is dispute among several critics pointing out that the original translation of 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 was against same-sex couples and wrote about it in the Bible to prohibit it. Variations of homophobia are biphobia, acephobia, and transphobia.
