Queerphobia

One synonym for queerphobia is LGBTQIA*-phobia. These terms refer to the discrimination of people whose gender identity or sexual orientation does not correspond to the binary ‘male’ and ‘female’ gender identity or to the heterosexual norm. This type of discrimination therefore also includes transphobia and homophobia. However, queerphobic people are not afraid, but have an aversion and hostility against queer people. This is why “Queerfeindlichkeit” and not “Queerphobie” is used in German. There is no suitable equivalent in English yet, which is why we continue to use the term queerphobia here.

Although queerphobia is often found in right-wing ideologies or religious groups, for example in Christian fundamentalism, it is present in all layers and areas of society as well, just like other forms of discrimination.
