The Psychological Reasons For Hating The LGBT Folks

[IBDaMann]

Psychological hatred and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community is rarely a simple, single-issue phenomenon.

Bogus thread.

This is just another attempt to reframe the LGBTTQQIAPPIPALPHABETSOUP+ Supremacy movement as a VICTIM community. It's a movement, not a community, and the agenda is 1. SUPREMACY for sexual freaks and 2. PERSECUTION of those associated with the norm.

Psychological hatred and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community is rarely a simple, single-issue phenomenon. Experts generally attribute these attitudes to a combination of rigid personality constructs, unconscious defense mechanisms, and deeply ingrained social conditioning.The primary psychological theories behind these hostile attitudes include:
1. Authoritarianism and Intolerance
Psychologists have long linked anti-LGBTQ+ bias to rigid personality traits, such as an "authoritarian personality" or an "intolerant personality disorder".Rigid Cognitive Categorization: These individuals often rely on strict binaries (e.g., rigid gender roles) to make sense of the world. LGBTQ+ identities, which blur or fall outside these lines, can cause cognitive dissonance, leading to discomfort and hostility.Need for Superiority: Hatred often stems from a psychological need to boost one's own self-esteem by feeling morally or socially superior to an "out-group".
2. Unconscious Repression and Reaction Formation
Rooted in psychodynamic theory, some prejudice acts as a defense mechanism against an individual’s own unconscious, denied, or suppressed attractions.Reaction Formation: In this scenario, an individual espouses intense hatred or irrational fear of homosexuality as a way to vigorously deny their own same-sex impulses.Empirical Evidence: In a famous psychological study published in The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, researchers found that men who scored highest on homophobia measures actually showed significant physiological arousal when viewing male homosexual erotica, compared to men who were not homophobic.
3. Fear of the Unknown and Threat Perception
Human beings are inherently wary of things that fall outside their lived experience.In-group Favoritism: Hatred is often rooted in xenophobia—the fear of anything perceived as different. When people do not personally know or interact with LGBTQ+ individuals, they are more susceptible to believing negative stereotypes.Threat to the Status Quo: Some individuals view the mere existence of queer individuals or diverse family structures as a personal threat to their own traditional worldviews, religious convictions, or cultural norms.
4. Learned Behavior and Social Conditioning
Psychologists emphasize that hatred is not an innate trait; it is heavily taught.Cultural Indoctrination: People frequently absorb prejudices from their families, religious institutions, and broader cultural environments.Peer Dynamics: For young people, asserting hatred for minority groups can be a way to reinforce one's standing within a dominant social group, demonstrate masculinity to peers, or alleviate boredom through thrill-seeking behaviors like bullying

That's a lot of words to say absolutely nothing of meaning.

I always thought gays and others had plenty of problems and did not need me to make things more difficult for them.

Everybody has problems, Nordy...

I mind my own business until the rightys cross the lines in their judgmental ways.

What do you mean by "judgmental ways"?

Hate of gays and blacks is taught in the home. So is most violence.

Why are you mentioning "blacks" in a thread about "LGBT folks"? Doesn't "LGBT folks" include all melanin amounts?

 

[countryboy]

No, it isn't. Hetero's don't hold sex parades. LGBTPDQRSTUV+- do, and pretty regularly. Hetero's don't have sex clown story time with kids, to give two common examples.

Exactly, and they seem to enjoy parading their junk in front of kids.

That's a lot of words to say absolutely nothing of meaning.

Sorry that you lack reading comprehension.

TL;DR: There are lots of reasons behind the aversion towards LGBT folks.

 

[AProudLefty]

Everybody has problems, Nordy...

Duh? Do people make it worse for you on purpose?

What do you mean by "judgmental ways"?

Stop playing dumb. They judge LGBT people based on who they are.

All of them?

Thanks for your inane contribution and being off topic with a silly straw man.

This is why traditional charter and private schools are thriving. Parents don't want their kids to get indoctrinated. They want them educated.

LGBTQ is a political wedge issue politicians forced on schools to replace parent responsibilities with classroom social conditioning. This is our government intentional divide and conquer scheme. Parents were forced into home schooling to prevent their kids from thinking they were born in the wrong body.

Clearly you haven't been to public schools.

 

[IBDaMann]

All of them?

The correct question is whether the LGBTTQQIAPPIPALPHABETSOUP+ movement advocate for all sexual freaks to be empowered to do so.

The correct answer is "Yes they all do."

That was a neat random-word comment. Such drivel makes for greatly distracting pivots.

You are wise beyond your years. This is better than being wide beyond your ears.

Again thanks for contributing nothing of any value.

Does it really kill you to stay on topic?

 

[IBDaMann]

Everybody has problems, Nordy...

Not when you are being labelled as a privileged VICTIMIZER!

What do you mean by "judgmental ways"?

It's an assumed value once "privileged VICTIMIZER!" has been legitimized and assumed.

Why are you mentioning "blacks" in a thread about "LGBT folks"?

That's a competing SUPREMACY group, and is also the world's biggest HATE group of the LGBTTQQIAPPIPALPHABETSOUP+ movement.

Doesn't "LGBT folks" include all melanin amounts?

So black gay men are required to attend Pride events, and then are required by black activist camps to form up in attack mobs to instigate violence against those very same Pride events.

i.e. on the same day, kill two birds with one stone.

Again thanks for contributing nothing of any value. Does it really kill you to stay on topic?

It would appear that you are the only one who is actively trying to derail the thread, and strangely, it's your thread. Perhaps you are just ashamed of having taken a position without thinking it through, and naturally ending up on the wrong side.

It must pain you to stay on topic. I wonder why? So you really hate the LGBT folks that much? Why?

They make it wiggle? Fight the urge?

Don't have to be to know that nationwide, public schools are in decline both in quality and enrollment while alternatives thrive.

Between 2019-20 and 2023-24, traditional public schools lost about 1.83 million students. After a modest rebound in 2022-23, the share of students outside traditional public schools grew again in 2023-24. This decline varies by race, district poverty level, and state. ‌

In predominantly Black districts, the share of students outside traditional public schools has been both the highest and the fastest growing, rising from 25.4% in 2015-16 to 34.1% in 2023-24, a trajectory unaffected by the pandemic. Predominantly White and Hispanic districts have also seen smaller but noticeable increases since 2020. In high-poverty districts, the share of students outside traditional public schools reached 26% in 2023-24. Medium- and low-poverty districts also recorded increases, though to a lesser extent.‌

Why Is Enrollment Plunging in the Public Schools?‌‌

Public school enrollment has dropped sharply since COVID-19, with some students moving to private or charter schools and others leaving the system entirely, according to a new report co-authored by Prof. Faidra Monachou.‌

Interestingly, it's minority families that are most likely to abandon public schools for alternatives.

One of the big drivers of this is that alternatives are often "free" too and worse, some states--red ones--are even offering tuition assistance or payment if a private school is chosen.

If public schools and public education were doing a good job people wouldn't be leaving for alternatives even if those alternatives were free to them. There's no incentive to switch. On the other hand, if public, government run, schools are doing a shit job of education there is every reason for parents to want out of that situation and given the opportunity they're taking it.

The only people who see this as a bad thing are teachers unions and government workers at public schools. Their bad policies and quality of outcome resulted in people going elsewhere once there was no monopoly held by the public schools. Even the better teachers figured it out and are fleeing the unions for jobs at privately run schools.
