What is NoHomophobes.com?
This website is designed as a social mirror to show the prevalence of casual homophobia in our society. Words and phrases like “faggot,” “dyke,” “no homo,” and “so gay” are used casually in everyday language, despite promoting the continued alienation, isolation and — in some tragic cases — suicide of sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ) youth.We no longer tolerate racist language, we’re getting better at dealing with sexist language, but sadly we’re still not actively addressing homophobic and transphobic language in our society.Help us research homophobia online.
Let’s put an end to casual homophobia. Speak out when you see or hear homophobic or transphobic language from friends, at school,in the locker room, at work or online. Use #NoHomophobes to show your support. And visit one of our resource websites to get more involved.
