What are three steps that individuals can personally take to combat homophobia and homophobic tendencies? Why is it difficult for some individuals to take a public stance against homophobia?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but students should discuss at least three steps that individuals can take to combat homophobia. These steps may include but are not limited to, refusing to use homophobic slurs, advocating for LGBT rights as an ally, and calling out individuals who make homophobic jokes. Taking a public stance against homophobia may be difficult for some as this may push them to go against societal norms--particularly if they live in a homophobic community. Individuals who identify as straight may not want to experience social exclusion and judgement for going against the status quo.
