Liberal homophobia
Liberal homophobia is the acceptance of homosexuality as long as it remains hidden.[1][2][3] It is a type of homophobia in which, despite acceptance of sexual diversity, prejudices and stereotypes that marginalize or underestimate LGBT people are perpetuated.[4]
Definition
Liberal homophobia is a practice that is based on understanding
heterosexuals are not constrained to hide their relationships in public as gay people are.[6]
Liberal homophobia is expressed in many areas where homosexuality is made public, such as the
gender non-conforming mannerisms or dress, without taking into account the discrimination that LGBT people face.[6]
Authors such as
heterocentric normality is accepted. Any transgression of that norm is rejected as victimist, ghettoed, activist or proselytizer.[1][2]
In the words of Mira:
It's extraordinarily simple: "yes, but...". In this syntactic structure, any type of statement is inserted: "homosexuals are wonderful and very good friends of mine, but they must abandon the flamboyance; homosexuals are people like everyone but the exhibitionism that they manifest is out of place." There is a limit that still has to be overcome: that of positive images or vindication.
Es extraordinariamente simple: «sí, pero…». En esta estructura sintáctica se inserta cualquier tipo de enunciado: «los homosexuales son maravillosos y muy amigos míos pero deben abandonar la pluma; los homosexuales son personas como todos pero el exhibicionismo que manifiestan está fuera de lugar». Hay un límite que todavía cuesta superar: el de las imágenes positivas o la reivindicación.
— Alberto Mira, De Sodoma a Chueca[2]
