Categorism focused on targeting the category of homosexuals, usually including other non-heterosexuals such as bisexuals and pansexuals. (In Swedish: homofobi)


Examples of facets expressed through this focus

  • Biased Balance: Not standing up for the right for gay people to have their relationships in peace as well as the right for religious people to worship in peace, but instead standing up for a balance between the right for gay people to have their relationships in peace versus the “right” for religious people to persecute gay people.
  • Categorist Slurs: Using words like "gay" and "faggot" as generic insults or as describing some bad way of being silly and pathetic.
  • Dehumanization: Talking about gay people as if they were animals in heat.

Homophobia in example texts

  • Adam's homophobia: A guy named Adam expressing many facets and levels of homophobia.
