    ³Homophobia continues to be a major barrier to ending the global AIDS epidemic´

    Homophobia is the hatred or fear of homosexuals, that is, lesbians and gay men -
    sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility.

    There are many factors that can cause a person to be homophobic. Research has
    shown that prejudice against gay people and homosexuality can be influenced by the
    person.

    ˜ Having strong religious beliefs that disapprove of sex and/or homosexuality


    ˜ Having little/no social contact with lesbian and gay people
    ˜ Reporting no homosexual experiences or feelings

    However it is not possible to identify exactly what causes a person to be homophobic,


    as many different influences inform a person's attitudes. Different people grow up
    exposed to similar beliefs about sexuality but form quite different attitudes towards gay
    men and lesbians.
