The Seed of "Homophobia"

I've seen tolerate, open-minded comment about homosexuality from you. Some even said "What's wrong with that?"

So today, I'd like to talk about "homophobia," the hatred toward homosexuals.

What is rooted in homophobia may help us explore why homosexuality is placed in such an accused position, and deepen knowledge and understanding.

The biggest trigger was AIDS/HIV. It was 1981 when one unprecedented and unknown disease was reported to be pervasive among homosexual people in the US.

Soon where/who started the infection was investigated.

The developer was a handsome purser working for an international airline company; He brought the souvenir from Africa in 1980, to NY, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even Toronto in Canada. As you know, he was, gay.

Since 1981, the society has labeled homosexuality with AID.

Futhermore, some championed that gay patients deserved it for pursuing their hedoistic sexuality. Religious people considered the disease had to be a punishment from God.

Even though HIV was discovered to be popular also among drug-users and hemophiliacs in 1982, the medical descovery was too late to turn back the solid homophobia.
