homophobia

\hoh-me-FOE-bee-ah\ noun

"all the negative attitudes that can lead to rejection and to direct or indirect discrimination towards gay men, lesbians, and bisexual, transsexual or transgender people or toward anyone whose physical appearance or behaviour does not fit masculine or feminine stereotypes."

Examples:

May 17th is symbolic due to its significance in improving the status of gays and lesbians. In removing homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses on a May 17, the World Health Organization (WHO) put an end to over a century of homophobia in the medical field.

Through its LGBTT Initiative, Red River College positively counteracts the ill effects of homophobia in our midst.

Will Ferguson explores Internet scam, human endurance in new novel '419'

Thursday, May 17, 2012

It begins with a single email: "Dear Sir, I am the daughter of an exiled Nigerian diplomat, and I need your help ..."  While researching various scams for his 2007 Depression-era novel "Spanish Fly," author Will Ferguson came across a reference to 419, the advance fee fraud that today is perpetuated via email. He filed away the idea and now the new manifestation of an old con has become the centrepiece of his suspenseful novel "419."
