Homofobija: kultura strahu pred homoseksualnostjo

Abstract

Avtor v članku izhaja iz teze, da je homofobija - ne glede na to, kako jo razumemo - vedno povezana z vprašanjem seksualnosti in telesa. Definira jo kot sredstvo za vzpostavljanje opozicije do Drugega. Prek tega se šele vzpostavlja identiteta homofobičnega subjekta, ki je primarno definirana prav prek polja (hetero)seksualnosti kot naravne, samoumevne in neproblematične. Avtor homofobijo interpretira predvsem skozi vprašanje seksualnosti in opozarja, da je kultura strahu okrog homoseksualnosti "strašljiva" predvsem v svojih posledicah: vrsta raziskav namreč kaže, da internalizirana homofobija bistveno določa vsakdanje življenje gejev in lezbijk in da ti pogosto živijo v neprestanem strahu pred "implementacijo kulture strahu" v obliki nasilja. Glede na raziskavo o vsakdanjem življenju gejev in lezbijk je to izkušnja več kot vsakega drugega homoseksualca v Sloveniji.

Secondary title:	Homophobia: culture of fear of homosexuality
Secondary abstract:	The author's starting idea is that homophobia is always connected to sexualityand body regardless of how we understand it. He defines it as a means of constitution an opposition to the Other. Through this process the identity of homophobic subject is constituted and based on the idea of (hetero) sexuality as natural, taken for granted and non-problematic. The author analyses homophobia through sexuality and points out that the culture of fearing homosexuality is above all "horrifying" in its consequences: numerous research show that internalized homophobia importantly defines everyday life of gays and lesbians. They often live in constant fear of "implementing the culture of fear" in form of violence. According to the research on everyday life of gays and lesbians this holds true for every second homosexual in Slovenia.
