Noun edit

internalized homophobia (uncountable)

Usage notes edit

Some authors prefer the use of internalized heterosexism over internalized homophobia, due to the fact that the belief centers around a heteronormative society and external pressure, rather than necessarily a fear of gay people as homophobia can imply, and that not everyone who experiences the phenomenon is gay or lesbian.^[1]^[2]^[3] A few even extend internalized homophobia to include people that identify as heterosexual.^[4]
