Since time immemorial, the LGBTQ+ community has been in the battle against a kind of society that makes them a subject of discrimination and denies them the basic rights that most people get to enjoy.
Homophobia refers to various negative attitudes towards q***r individuals that may be expressed at the individual, cultural, and institutional level. As homophobia remains to be prevalent, it continues to leave a negative impact on the community — the unfortunate targets of contempt, prejudice, and violence. We are brought up with different ethics and morals, but questioning the status quo and the norms says how much we value the fact that everyone deserves to live their life free of fear for simply being themselves.
Whether you are a victim of homophobia or concerned about how homophobia affects others, there are actions that we can take to deal with it and brush it off our minds. Raising awareness and calling for change do not end in July. Thus, we ask you to raise our flags once again, as this episode will tackle the LGBTQ+ community, the common struggles, and how members deal with homophobia and the roots of it.
To all g**s out there, listen and remember that the only thing that is wrong with you is that you think there is something wrong with you. Don't let your inner saboteur, sabotage you. As what mother Rupaul says, "If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?" so slay ookurrr!
