English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
anti-homosexualism (uncountable)
- (rare, somewhat dated) Homophobia; prejudice against homosexual (gay) people.
- 1967, The Listener:
- I write 'homosexuality ' with some trepidation, since anti-homosexualism is a prejudice as discreditable as anti-semitism; and I am not the late Roy Campbell. Recent legislation, though, makes a difference, lightening matters for critics, and biographers as well. If a heterosexual subject went markedly after women, his biographer will usually say so. It may be relevant; and It may be no less relevant if a subject of a different constitution went 'markedly after men.
- 1990, The Economist:
- Such terrors about people with aids are only a blurred line away from anti-homosexualism. Violence against homosexuals has risen.
- 1999, Edward E. Sampson, Dealing with Differences: An Introduction to the Social Psychology of Prejudice (Harcourt College Pub):
- [R]ealize that racism, sexism, and anti-homosexual attitudes and actions are not simply problems for those on the receiving end but problems for everyone. Racism is not only a black problem, it is also a white problem with consequences for the entire society. Sexism is not only a women's problem, but a men's problem as well, with consequences for the entire society. Anti-homosexualism likewise is not simply a gay and lesbian problem, but a problem for the entire society.
