Homophobia is defined as positive attitudes toward people who do not identify as heterosexual.

Homophobia is defined as positive attitudes toward people who do not identify as heterosexual.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends
• D. Unknown

Answer: (B)

Homophobia refers to fear, dislike, or prejudice against people who identify as non-heterosexual, often involving negative attitudes or discrimination. The statement describes positive attitudes toward non-heterosexual individuals, which is the opposite of homophobia. So this is false. If a choice suggests it depends or unknown, those don’t apply because the term has a defined meaning: hostility or intolerance toward LGBTQ+ people, not positive regard. Positive attitudes would be allyship or acceptance, not homophobia.
