Stereotyp homofobii – nowy element politycznej poprawności?

This survey is devoted to an analysis of homophobia, the notion of which is generally improperly redefined in social discourse. Homophobia is stereotypically understood as any attitude that is unfriendly towards homosexuality. In such a context, the term becomes a component of politically correct language. The analyses and descriptions of clinical cases show that the notion of homophobia should be used only in reference to a mental disorder of the phobia group. The results of research conclude that the term of homoprejudice is an adequate description of discriminatory attitudes towards homosexuals. The article presents its own model of attitudes towards homosexuality that consists of the following: neutral attitude, anxiety attitude (homophobia), discriminatory attitude (homoprejudice), critical attitude (homoskepticism), and supportive attitude (homophilia).
