Talk:Homophobia in ethnic minority communities

2509:

are no more numerous than about any other race. And if you are saying whites are more numerous in the West and therefore defending white normativity, this is first biased for the West, and second within certain communities, such as inner cities, a person may be more likely to see a black person than a white person, so instead of pointing out a national majority, we could point out state majorities for the US, district majorities, city majorities. Keep in mind, many white and black people in the US are biased to think there are more of their own race in the US than there actually are, because of segregation, and you may be subject to this effect, causing a bias. I think what DStrassman is saying though is reasonable, so the main point is to expand it to not be focused only on the West. This still could be argued to have a bias because it assumes that minorities in any place have homophobia of a different or special type than the majority, but this is not a racist bias, merely a "majority" bias which, unless used to justify white supremacy in some way, would not be very important because there are no pro-majority bias movements or unconscious pro-majority bias.

are more likely to condemn LGBT people, they are "more likely to support laws prohibiting antigay discrimination" (Lewis 2003, 76). When controlling for education and religion, blacks are also more likely to favor gay civil liberties and support gay employment rights (Lewis 2003). Explanations for the higher levels of Black opposition to same-sex marriage have focused on religion -- both religious affiliation and religiosity. Religion has been shown to be a key favor in influencing support for or opposition to same-sex marriage (Sherkat et al. 2010) In particular, affiliation with Catholicism and certain Protestant denominations are positively related to opposition to same-sex marriage. Sherkat et al. found that much of that Black-White difference in attitude is attributable to differences in religious affiliation -- specifically Blacks' rate of affiliation with Baptists and other Protestants, as well as the high levels of religious participation.

2440:'s comment is accurate that "Homophobia in the white community (at least in communities where white people are a majority...is called homophobia". That is, perhaps, because we are communicating in English Knowledge, whose "default" is Western culture, in which the majority of people are white. "Minority communities" within that context is a meaningful, plural term that can be narrowed in focus by stipulating which sub-culture is being discussed with respect to any alleged manifestations of racism. I would expect that an article about "minorities" would address the views/behavior of the "majority" to the extent the latter is the environment in which lgbt/minority interactions transpire. For example, in the "racism = prejudice + power" theory to which some subscribe, the attitudes of minorities toward lgbt people is likely to be more restricted in impact than when practiced by members of the dominant ethnicity. Others wold argue the contrary, that 3034:

people disagreed in varying degrees to the statement “homosexuality is disgusting.”12 The General Social Survey (2002), a national dataset, found that 82.1 percent of blacks considered, to varying degrees, that “homosexual sex relations” were wrong.13 Taking into consideration the methodological differences of those surveys and our research (for example, indicators used, the way concepts were operationalized, methodologies employed, etc.), we conclude that, in some geographic areas, although the environment continues to be a source of pressure and stress, there is a higher acceptance of different sexual identities than the average U.S. area. Since LGBT identity coexists with many other kinds of identity, it becomes important to substantiate these preliminary outcomes.

Mixed Race people, then whites, finally Asians or Pacific Islanders (which is approximately the same order of likelihood to vote Democratic, which makes sense as Democrats are more likely to support gay marriage legalization and other pro-LGBT policies). So although marriage equality under law is a separate issue, people of color sympathize the most with LGBTs, perhaps because they understand them but believe in heternormativity. In my opinion, it seems much of the Western media's covering homophobic anti-marriage equality statistics in Western minorities but not pro-queer acceptance statistics shows a racist bias, the same kind that portrays people of color (especially men) as uncivilized homophobic misogynists.

the topic in the near future. I would recommend that you add links on this article to other articles, and on other articles to this article to increase clarity and traffic to this page, respectively. Some images would also help make the article look more appealing. But those are just nuisances. The more important thing I would like to address is that there are certain parts which came off a bit strong and biased. If it was a widely accepted opinion, belongs to someone, or supported by statistics, make references to those so we don’t think it is your opinion. Overall, I am really glad you contributed to such an important topic and would like to that you on behalf of the Knowledge community.

2731:

For example, you mention how in Hispanic cultures, women are supposed to be submissive to men, but you should add some sort of disclaimer or clarification so that readers won’t conclude that these cultural norms are something inherent to Hispanic people. I also think there is a good opportunity in this article to talk about the expectation for black men to be hypermasculine, and how that adds to the stigma around black gay men. Lastly, be sure to look for places where you used the word “broader” and revise those to be more specific. Good luck with your future work! I enjoyed learning from you a lot, and I’m excited for more readers to learn from your contributions as well.

2600:

might want to reorder some of the sections you added, possibly restructuring the sections under "Homophobia in the Black Community" to flow like: "Prevalence", "In the Black Church", "Relationship with AIDS". Also, there's an existing issue that portions of the article read like a term paper. I think that you might be able to restructure some of the existing / added content in the lead section to address this and make the page read a bit more like an encyclopedia. Overall some great contributions, I just think you should make sure to step back and view the page at a high-level and make sure structure / language is appropriate in your future edits. Thanks again!

2779:"however, to simply claim that Blacks are "more" homophobic than Whites or any other racial-ethnic group entirely misses the point, and produces a skewed analysis, which further demonized Blacks as having the "wrong" values or failing to keep pace in a rapidly changing society. Given the institutional barriers that have been developed and maintained in the USA to marginalize same-sex sexuality, and to limit the full participation and rights of LGBT persons, it becomes evident that homophobia is embedded in the national culture, rather than originating from a specific racial-ethnic group... 3050:

facto masculinist attitudes in the community (Boykin 2005; Ward 2005). From a different position, some authors have argued the incompatibility between homosexuality and Afrocentricity: “Homosexuality and lesbianism are deviation from Afrocentric thought because they often make the person evaluate his or her own physical need above the teachings of national consciousness” (Asante 2003, 72).7 We believe that, by implication, this also supports what others have discussed about how the political right stirs homophobia in the black community for political gain (Chideya 1993).

in which I can see you improving this article in terms of referencing, content, and images. For referencing, please try and provide more links to other articles, cite the claims you pull from your sources, and look for more recent sources. For content, I'd love to see more information in the section on Homophobia in Latino communities and some more statistics on impacts. Potentially also discuss more impacts than just HIV/AIDS. I also agree with Amina on moving up prevalence. Finally, some images, even just statistics, would be great! Great job

rights leaders including Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Shaprton, NAACP head, Rev. Ben Jealous, each took public stances in support of of same-sex marriage. Beyond the high profile national figures, as the debates unfolded in states around the country, often local ministers (particularly associated with the NAACP) came out in support of same-sex marriage rights. Thus we have a varied picture with a majority of the population opposed to expanding marriage rights and national elites and some local cities supporting such an expansion.

communities of color. It also further marginalizes queer people of color who are left primarily outside of this discussion unless they are invoked as infantile subjects in need of saving from their own communities. Macklemore's assertion in "Same Love" that "If I were gay I would think hip hop hates me" functions in much the same way as the backlash against Black voters following the passing of Prop 9 in that it also relies on the exaggerated concept of Black homophobia as a threat to LGBTQ people.

1221:

the title needs to be changed. Actually, I think the article could be split into two articles, with the possibility of individual articles about homophobia in ethnic communities in every major country/region. Honestly, the subject feels vast to me. Trying to capture an entire community's view on a subject is difficult and requires a lot of words and a lot of research. But you knew that already. What do you think? I don't know a ton about this subject, so I may be totally off base.

699: 678: 1516:

player writes on his eyepatch is good enough evidence to suggest that the Latino community at large is homophobic. So I worry that an over-reliance on news media, which focuses on one-off events like this, might give a more superficial treatment of the topic, might bias the article in using examples like this to form an oversimplified picture, without using counterexamples from white communities (e.g. have any white ball players made homophobic comments?).

contempt for gay people came in 2008, when California passed Proposition 8, which constitutionally outlawed same-sex marriage in that state. A whopping 70 percent of blacks voted for the measure, compared to 53 percent of Hispanic voters, 49 percent of white voters and 49 percent of Asian voters. In other states where gay rights issues are put to the vote, a majority of blacks consistently oppose such rights.

unfavorable views of gays and lesbians. This does not indicate a marked difference between whites and blacks concerning negative views toward gays. Rather, this statistic, derived from from black respondents who claimed a Christian religious orientation, shows that black people interpret the bible as proscribing homosexual sexual behavior.

2862:

the report released by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in January 2009 that found that only 58% of African American voters supported Prop 8, Bouie noted "Prop 8 didn't win because of blacks or Latinos, it won because millions of Californians -- white as much as black or or brown -- opposed same-sex marriage"

Actually, there is nothing in this study that says African Americans disagree with LGBT civil liberties than their white counterparts. It also says nothing about the role of the church. Sadly the links in the citation don't work, or don't provide working full-text documents, but I was able to find an

2875:

Yet, I am not seeing anywhere in the article where a citation explicitly says that minorities in general may be uniquely homophobic in relation to the dominant society in which they live. It would appear to be original research based on a synthesis of a lot of citations that are lacking page numbers.

2856:

Early exit polls, later proven inaccurate, estimated that 70 percent of Black voters, most of who voted for President Barack Obama, also voted in favor of Prop 8, and several of the biggest media outlets in turn cited this statistic as fact. This prompted many white marriage-equality supporters, such

2787:

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted a study concerning American attitudes toward homosexuality that seems to contradict an assumption of black hyperhomophobia. Among the whites surveyed, 50 percent held unfavorable views of gays and lesbians. Among the blacks surveyed, 60 percent held

Second, this article is lumping together all ethnic minority communities as if they are all the same. Imagine if there were an article on "homophobia in non-African communities". This would clearly be biased as it would assume the default race is African. This real article is biased as it stereotypes

2064:

Hello! I am working on creating a new article for Homophobia toward Ethnic Minorities in the United States. To accomplish this, I will use some of the information that exists on the parent article, Homophobia in ethnic minority communities, and add more detail to all of the sections that focus on the

Yet, African-American attitudes on LGBT rights are not so simple. As Sherkat et al. have noted, while African-Americans oppose same-sex marriage rights at a higher level, they also are more supportive of certain civil rights for LGBT people than whites (Sherkat et al. 2010, Lewis 2003). While Blacks

The wiki seems to take a very selective interpretation of what this document says. Rather than highlighting the conflicting nature of black views on LGBT civil liberties, it only acknowledges where blacks opposed certain liberties. It ignores that they were more likely to support certain liberties.

contributor Jamelle Bouie of points out, this scapegoating of Black voters, like Macklemore's Scapegoating of hip-hop, is part of a larger phenomenon of "invented black pathology," in which "behaviors present among other groups of Americans become pathologies when they're exhibited by blacks. Citing

Just to give an example, several authors have spoken about the stereotype of black homophobia in the USA. They regard black homophobia as an extension of the dominant American culture, and a consequence of Black assimilation to hardline Christianity in the South. They also insist that blacks are not

2579:

Thank you for your contribution to this important topic that is rarely addressed. I am sure it will be very informative for the readers. I am really impressed by the fact that you were able to find so much information such a specific topic. I am sure there will be more attention and research done on

2559:

Thank you for your contribution and working on such a vital topic. I think your additions added a lot of quality information on this topic, and I especially was interested in how religion is often an important part of Black communities and yet is a major contributor to homophobia. I have a few areas

2539:

Thea, you made some really great edits to this article! I am honestly surprised this vital information wasn’t already included in it. I really appreciated the theoretical framework you provided towards the beginning. I also think you didn’t come off as biased and you were able to capture the nuanced

1220:

I noticed this article on the Good Article nominations page, and while I don't feel qualified to formally review it, I'd still like to put in my two cents. I feel like the scope of the article's title is HUGE. As it is, the article only covers ethnic minority communities in two countries. So I think

3049:

However, alongside this critique of homophobia within the black community, we also acknowledge the role of external force in inciting homophobia. More specifically, by holding homosexuality as a (biblical) sin, black churches fostered a symbolic assault on LGBTs as theological practice enhancing de

2867:

By painting homophobia as a uniquely Black problem, rather than an American problem that cuts across all ethnic and racial communities, white LGBTQ leaders position themselves as wiser, more progressive, and thus better situated as leaders of a mainstream movement that can "fix" the problems within

2730:

Hi Wuchrist! You’re doing an amazing job adding to some of the more underdeveloped section of this article, particularly the one about Asian Americans. I am impressed by the amount of nuance you are bringing to this article. I suggest being more careful about making generalizations in your writing.

2619:

While I recognize that this topic is sensitive on "white vs non-white" homophobia as well as the overabundance of US and UK differences, I still believe that there could be edits made to the AAPI section to include a little bit more information that might be relevant to the topic. The section could

2324:

In solution to all of these, I propose there ought to be one article concerning homophobia in communities of each race (homophobia in black communities, homophobia in white communities, homophobia in Latino communities...) This would solve the first problem; the second problem of assuming a default

1511:

I’m certainly not suggesting that anyone is intentionally biasing the article, but if you have a whole set of examples of homophobia in minority communities, it creates a picture of “minority communities are homophobic” which is a simplification that I think many would take issue with. It seems to

2508:

As for the racism in heterosexual community counterargument. I understand what you are saying, but ethnic minorities differ considerably from LGBT minorities. Part of it is my opinion that I believe in what is called heteronormativity but not in any white normativity, for one reason because whites

1709:

I agree completely; the only reason that article was redirected here was that all the content which was on that article is included on this page. As I've said before (but seemingly not on this talk page), if other users could find a more apt redirect or create a more detailed wider article it'd be

1515:

I like that the article does use some books and academic sources, because I think there needs to be a more in-depth look at the issue to support the idea that is repeatedly suggested here that minority communities in the US are more homophobic than white ones. I’m not convinced that what one ball

to see that. The split would create articles that are pretty close to being WP:Stubs. I don't like unnecessary article splits. And when I see articles that should be merged, I am likely to state that they should be merged. Anyway, I understand what you mean about the article needing expansion. But

1242:

Although the scope is vast (as you say), I feel that splitting off articles will fuel more controversy, as attempts were made at creating articles on homophobia in different ethnic groups before I merged them into this article, but many of them were stubs and various incidents of edit warring kept

2844:

Several studies and polls show that homophobia is a major part of African-American culture, enabled by religious and political nonsense and emotional and intellectual immaturity. Based on everything I have read, we are, in fact, the nation's most homophobic population. One striking example of our

2365:

Wiki user, are you insane, do you propose we have an article about racism in the heterosexual community as well? Secondly, there is a thing on wikipedia that is required and significantly more important that neutrality and a world wide-view and that is the rule of reliable sources. If you want to

This opposition, led largely by religious leaders, reflects the findings that attribute Black opposition in general to certain widespread religious beliefs. Yet, other Black leaders have also been out front in support of marriage rights. In particular, many high profile Black religious and civil

According to the “Survey of Chicago African-Americans” (1997), 66.2 percent of respondents favored nondiscrimination in the workplace supporting “gay job discrimination laws,” yet 66.5 percent opposed “homosexuals and lesbians being allowed to adopt children.” Equally complexing, 52.8 percent of

Anyway, I have more thoughts if you’re interested and I’m happy to help however I can as we continue improving the article(s). Sorry to be abrupt like this and fail it outright but I think the changes needed are large enough not to fit well in a GA review. Let me know if I can be of any help.

1236:

I totally agree – the primary reason as to why I started this article is because there were a few stub articles floating around the Wikiverse, and I felt that it would be best to collect all the information in this article for the time being. I personally would choose to add a lot more to this

2104:

Can you simply work on expanding the United States section of the existing article, adding your section for Native-Americans there? Also, another way to expand the current article, is to include other regions. You could start, for example, by adding Canada, which has a lot of ethnic minority

2342:

Please don't forget to sign your comments! I agree with the idea that it is problematic to assume a default race or ethnic community. However, to avoid the article being biased toward a particular country or region, it is also important to recognize that diversity and ethnic groups vary in

1519:

IIRC in academic literature there’s the perspective from members of African American communities to the effect of, Black communities don’t always reject and eject gay members, they’re still one of us, while in some white communities, complete ostracism is the norm. I wonder if the absence of

Third, this article inherently seems to assume there is some special type of homophobia within ethnic minority communities. If there is, it ought to be dealt with separately for each race. Else this article is clearly racist, as it assumes increased homophobia among ethnic minorities.

1174: 2679:. This is unlikely to result in tag removal or work specifically addressing the tag, but may help with general cleanup a bit. I invite Wuchrist to keep an eye on progress and reach out to relevant WikiProject (Discrimination, LGBT studies, etc) for additional assistance. --- 2290:

Hello everyone, thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry for the late response. I am no longer planning on creating a separate article for homophobia in ethnic minority groups in the United States. Instead I will just expand the sections for the United States on the existing

African Americans disagree with LGBT civil liberties more than their white counterparts; some theorize this is because of conservative churches' role in advocating for African American civil liberties and that this advocacy has expanded into the LGBT

Similarly I think the (uncited) portrayal of homophobia among Asian Americans as the “result of a counterattack to the perceived feminization of Asian men in mainstream culture” needs more than one sentence treatment. There’s a lot of nuance there.

For example, Lauren Keller writes that the same stats quoted by Bill Maxwell were inaccurate, and that Blacks are not uniquely homophobic within the context of American culture. 2675:, I wonder if we can have a discussion about how this article can be improved so hopefully the tag can be removed. To start, I'm curious if Antinate can identify any specifically problematic text. Also, I am going to request a copy edit from the 2767:
