Hello hello its your host with the most Jordan Costley

Welcome to the third episode of minority minds

Before we begin, I had a whoopsie and forgot to do a Triva question so we will have two!

The first one will be... What country has been labeled the most diverse

And the second who was the first Black woman to win a medal in the U.S figure skating?

While you brainstorm about potential responses, today's episode is discussing the queer experience at hood I met with three individuals about their experience at Hood, and in general

Again, individuals willing to participate can remain confidential. I want to respect that discussing any experience for marginalized groups that sharing can be a scary experience or they may not be opening queer with some friends or family, and I want to respect their time and privacy.

Before I open the discussion, I want to define homophobia and queerphobia

Homophobia is the irrational fear or aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality, or queer individuals

There is also something called queerphobia also known as Queermisia and LGBTQ+phobia, is the act of discriminating and behaving in a hateful manner towards those who are LGBTQ+/queer. This is most often done by conformant individuals; however, it is fully possible for someone in the LGBT+ community to be queerphobic in some way, shape, or form towards another identity (or even towards an identity they share). Those who are queerphobic are known as Queerphobes.

Queerphobia can be found in many forms and can cause trauma, mental health issues, physical harm, homelessness, unemployment, death, and many other threatening concepts. Those who are queerphobic do not have to be blatant with their discriminatory behavior. While some may use slurs, harass, abuse, and similar, others may be silently or quietly judgmental and may have negative opinions on someone purely based on their attraction, gender, identity, and/or sex traits.
