Homophobia and its roots

Homophobia emerges from layered sources: religious traditions, political structures invested in controlling sexuality and reproduction, fear of gender non-conformity, and the simple human tendency to reject what feels unfamiliar. Treating homophobia as only conscious hatred misses how it persists through law, family expectation, and internalized shame that queer people absorb before they can question it.
