Description
Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientations that are not exclusively heterosexual.
Life Free From Homophobia Podcast
Homosexual people have long been the targets of institutionalized homophobia, e.g. religious homophobia and state-sponsored homophobia and hate crimes.
At the same time as many first nations peoples revered homosexuals in their communities, by contrast in the United Kingdom it was King Henry VIII who first introduced the death penalty for homosexuals. He may have been influenced by his friend Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. As the United Kingdom later established colonies around the world, the law was transplanted into the legal systems of other countries.
Earlier English Kings were apparently homosexual, Edward II, Richard the Lionheart, Philip II Augustus, and William Rufus.
The sexual attraction of one man for another was an acceptable, often a venerated form of love in ancient cultures. Intolerance toward homosexuals only emerged in Europe in the Middle Ages, especially among the adherents of Christianity and Islam. From there it spread through colonial influence to other countries.
Ironically, I discussed Islam and homosexual behavior with young single men in the city of Kuching, East Malaysia, Borneo. They explained to me that although Islam prohibits homosexual behavior in men it is accepted in their culture because unmarried woman are prohibited in Islam to have sex. They must marry as virgins. Therefore, young men usually, if not always, engage in homosexual practices until they marry. Everyone does it. It is ‘normal in their culture. I have found the same to be true in various Middle Eastern countries.
Once a young man marries, he is expected to abandon his former male lovers in preference for his new wife. To do otherwise would be an afront to Islam, but not in Afghanistan and Turkestan where around half of all Pashtun men, including tribal leaders and politicians will often take a boy as his lover (bacha baz is the Afghan term for an older man with a boy lover) while married and raising children with his wife. Around 80 per cent of bacha baz men are married. While some Afghans believe that bacha bazi violates Islamic law on grounds that it is homosexual in nature; others believe that Islam only forbids a man to sexually engage with another man, but not with a boy. To us that is cultural pedophilia. To them it is normal.
The Afghan bacha baz tradition is more than a thousand of years old. It likely predates the introduction of Islam and therefore culture cancels out religious doctrine.
To we Westerners this is child sexual abuse even child sex slavery, yet it was common during the Roman Empire. In 2009 it was estimated around 1.2 million children in India were involved in prostitution.
In Thailand 40 per cent of prostitutes are estimated to be children.
A judge from Honduras said, on condition of anonymity: “If the child prostitute is older than 12, if he or she refuses to file a complaint and if the parents clearly profit from their child’s commerce, we tend to look the other way”.
Before you leap to judge homosexuals, most customers of child prostitutes are men who say they are straight, not gay. Most are married men.
During the Middle Ages both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church conducted a type of ‘gay marriage’ ceremony called Adelphopoiesis. Then something happened and the churches changed their flavor.
In a homohysteric culture, men need to prove their heterosexuality because homosexuality is stigmatized. They drink beer, not wine. They wear macho clothing and pursue macho occupations to prove their manliness. The truth is many gays are manly not effeminate. So, it proves nothing.
In some contemporary (read that as Islamic) Middle Eastern, African, and Asian cultures there is no such thing as gay in their culture. Or so they want to believe.
Iran’s former firebrand President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an audience in 2007 at Columbia university in the USA that there are no gays in Iran. The audience laughed at his ridiculous statement. He was fooling no one except perhaps himself.
Some claim homosexuality is a “white man’s disease.” Ironically, men can hold hands in public in many highly homophobic countries because culturally they do not perceive gays exist, except in western cultures where men usually do not hold hands in public.
I have travelled extensively through several Southeast Asian countries, and the sub-continent of India, and witnessed many boys and men holding hands or arms around each other’s shoulders in public. It is considered normal and acceptable for men to do that. But to show affection between genders in public is frowned on. They do not see any contradiction.
The truth is homosexuality exists everywhere at around the same ratio. Religion, laws and culture make no difference, except perhaps to drive it underground. Yet it is still there. It has always been there. It won’t go away.
Homosexuality exists in some countries where the penalty is death by public execution. Yet it still exists.
The only way they can claim there are no gays in their country is by rounding all the gays they can find and killing them. However, they won’t find them all because more are being born every minute, and some are hiding in plain sight among the straight men too.
“Gay-bashing” and gay bullying is an attack, abuse, or assault committed against a person who is perceived by the aggressor to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The attack may be physical or verbal. This can also include abuse, bullying, or assaults perpetrated against a heterosexual person who the attacker perceives to be LGBT, ” according to Wikipedia.
Research suggests that some of the loudest anti-gay voices are closeted gays who cannot accept their own sexual orientation and therefore ‘hit-out’. “The hypothesis is that their bigotry doesn’t just make their sexual behavior hypocritical, it actually functions as a cover for it, consciously or otherwise.”
For example, The New York Times reported that Ted Haggard, an evangelical leader who preached that homosexuality was a sin, resigned after a scandal involving himself and a male prostitute.
Well-adjusted heterosexuals, who are comfortable and self-confident within their own sexuality usually have no problem with homosexuals.
Yesterday my local newspaper reported a story about a ‘devout Christian couple’ who sued an adoption agency after they were refused a child when they wanted to reject a child if ‘he or she might not refuse to renounce their evil homosexuality’. if they turned out to be gay’. The basis of their claim was that the seventh of Gods Ten Commandments given to Moses states “You shall not commit adultery”.
Their claim is clearly illogical because (1) A homosexual child cannot commit adultery. The definition of adultery is “voluntary (illicit/cheating) sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not their spouse”. A child of any sexual preference cannot have a spouse. They are too young to marry. (2) Heterosexuals commit adultery more often than homosexuals by the simple fact that heterosexual marriage is far more common than homosexual marriage. Therefore, their claim pertaining to a homosexual child is more relevant to heterosexual children because they are more likely to grow into adulthood and marry, and perhaps commit adultery. In the USA 22 per cent of married men and 18 per cent of married women have apparently been adulterous. (3) Adultery in this jurisdiction is not illegal. (4) Many homosexuals live within committed loving relationships. (5) In legal circles ‘adultery’ is defined as sexual intercourse between a man and a woman, specifically “insertion of the penis in the vagina”. Male and female homosexuals cannot physically do this. Therefore, from legal perspective homosexuals are incapable of adultery. However, many people may consider any of the following sexual activities adulterous. Vaginal intercourse, oral intercourse, anal intercourse, mutual masturbation, passionate kissing (tongues), heavy petting, and perhaps getting too emotionally involved with sexual thoughts and fantasy linked to solo masturbation? (6) If they think homosexuals are more likely to grow into adulthood and engage in sexual relationships outside marriage than heterosexuals, that is not necessarily true and still does not fit the definition of adultery. (7) The suggestion that ‘he or she might not refuse to renounce their evil homosexuality’ suggests the devout Christian couple intend to engage in forced conversion of sexual attraction which is illegal in this jurisdiction. (8) Parenting should be unconditional love whatever ‘disability’ their child may suffer. Parents do not ‘pick and choose’ their children, they take what they are given. The newspaper article stated the ‘devout Christian couple’ already had 4 children of their own. If any of their children were to grow-up to be homosexual, would the devout Christian couple reject their own biological children? Apparently so. If God gave them the gift of a homosexual child perhaps, they needed a lesson in unconditional love and accepting Gods will for them as parents? Rejecting their own biological child or an adopted child because the child or young adult could not change their sexual preference to suit their parents’ perception of what is right or wrong is in my opinion a failure of the parents. (Think for a moment. How many homosexual parents force their children to grow up as homosexuals? How many homosexual parents would consider sending their heterosexual children to a conversion program to turn them gay? Who is really perverted?)
The ‘devout Christian couple’ in question were clearly discriminating against all homosexuals be they children or adults, be they single, unmarried but in a relationship, perhaps a de facto or a committed legal marriage. The ‘devout Christian couple’ are not following the teachings of Jesus Christ, who taught unconditional love.

As with other phobias the fear of homosexuals and people who are same-sex attracted may consist of any or all of the following criteria:
- the persistent fear of an object or situation. In this case same-sex attracted people.
- exposure to homosexuals provokes an immediate anxiety response.
- adult sufferers recognize that the fear is excessive, unreasonable or irrational.
- exposure to same-sex attracted people is most often avoided altogether, or is endured with fear and dread.
- the fear interferes significantly with daily activities (social, familial, occupational, etc.) including, in some extreme cases, leaving the home.
- symptoms last for at least six months, often commencing in childhood.
- anxiety, panic attacks, or avoidance cannot be accounted for by another mental disorder.
The symptoms of a phobia and associated panic may include;
- shortness of breath,
- rapid shallow breathing,
- irregular heartbeat,
- excessive sweating,
- nausea,
- dry mouth,
- inability to articulate words or sentences,
- shaking,
- feeling to run-away
- feeling faint, pallor, tinnitus, panic attacks
The feelings of dread are very real for the sufferer because the unconscious mind has activated an instinctive fear reaction. The reaction is either ‘stand (or freeze) and fight’ or ‘flight’ (run away).
The old out-dated treatment for phobias was called ‘desensitization’. It involved exposing the sufferer to their fear over and over again. This most often caused abreactions — a type of catharsis.
Abreactions are ‘the expression and consequent release of a previously repressed emotion, achieved through reliving the experience that caused it’. Therefore, pre-recorded MP3 download hypnotherapy products incorporating age regression are usually impractical. At worst abreactions can re-traumatize a client if mismanaged. Hypnosis Downloads found on the Internet are usually nothing more than hypnotic inductions followed by positive affirmations. They are not ‘therapies’ at all.
While this approach is time-consuming, expensive, and perhaps traumatic, some psychologists still persist in using this antiquated therapy approach today.
I know a ‘straight’ woman who told me she is phobic about lesbians. I invited her to accompany me to a lesbian event at a lesbian hotel to test her phobia. There were hundreds of lesbian women and their friends there on the night. Most were ‘lip-stick lesbians’ (apparent ‘straight’ women who wear lip stick and dresses and prefer women). There was a contingent of ‘butch bois’ (lesbian women who see themselves as males. They have short haircuts, wear no make-up and dress as men. They tend to be aggressive and fight among themselves – like young men).
It was all too much for my friend. She became visibly distressed, and we had to leave immediately. The experiment was abandoned. I find it interesting that while she is homophobic about lesbian women, she prefers the company of gay men over ‘straight’ men. Perhaps her phobia is actually related to sex? ‘Straight’ men and ‘gay’ women are a potential sexual threat perhaps? Therefore, she prefers the company of men and women who do not pose a perceived ‘sexual threat’ to her?
Many gay men apparent have a ‘fag hag’ – a ‘straight’ female friend who prefers the social company of gay men.
Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer used hypnosis to assist patients to recall and relive traumatic experiences from their past which had been repressed by the unconscious for protection. Freud then abandoned this therapy approach. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung expressed interest in abreactions as a possible way to purge trauma, but later decided it had serious limitations. Science fiction writer and founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard had observed abreactive therapy in a Navy hospital. He then wrote about it in his book Dianetics, claiming it as his own invention. Truth is, it had fallen out of favor long before he picked it up. Some psychologists are experimenting with technology, such as VR goggles, to use ‘cyber desensitization’ which still persists in causing abreactions.

Welcome Life Free From Homophobia subliminal messages are abreaction free, so you can rest assured you are safe.
Some medications can be used to treat the anxiety but fail to address the presenting problem (ultimately it never goes away – stop the medication and it returns). Anxiety can be temporarily treated with drugs such as the commonly prescribed benzodiazepines, which include Valium
(diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), and Ativan (lorazepam). The problem with drug interventions are the possible side effects – including drowsiness and addiction. The medication approach is just a ‘coping mechanism’ rather than ‘a remedy’.
The best way for gay boys and men to help homophobic’s overcome their problems is to be ‘out and proud’, so that sufferers can confront their own irrational fears and thereby overcome them.
An alternative is for homophobes to seek therapy to treat their own irrational fears so they can lead a well-adjusted and normal life.

Just like Homer Simpson, we all have those intrusive thoughts from time-to-time. If we choose to listen to them and tag them with emotion, they can become more powerful. When we add self-talk – they can grab control by becoming deep unconscious beliefs. These beliefs drive our behaviors. We call automatic behaviors – habits.
So which thoughts do you choose to listen too? The ‘good’ including self-confidence, freedom from fear. Or, the ‘bad’ driven by hate, bigotry, abuse, bullying, anxiety, and panic?
The ‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations are a resource that delivers targeted messages to your deep unconscious up to 1200 times a day. That’s powerful enough to change deep unconscious thinking, therefore beliefs and behaviors!

If you listen to the Welcome Life Free From Homophobia MP3 while sleeping, on ‘repeat’ or ‘loop’ your unconscious mind will hear this message almost 400 times every night.

Or, you could choose to also listen to the ‘Pleasant piano and guitar melody’ and/or the ‘Zumba’ – Latin style dance music during the day. Your deep unconscious would then hear the affirmations repeated around 800 – 1200 times, while your logical conscious mind would hear it around 60 – 90 times. That’s powerful because a message repeated enough will become a new unconscious belief.

Subliminal Affirmation Text Free From Homophobia
“We are surrounded by people who are different from us, who share aspects of their diversity. That makes our life experience superior to past generations. Our world is richer because it is diverse.
Other people may be different, but they deserve your respect and acceptance. Their sexual preference is not who they are. It is as private and personal as your bedroom activities.
Prejudice is a limitation because it is closed-mindedness. Homophobia is prejudice, it is narrow-minded thinking.
You know homophobia was irrational. You now have a healthy attitude to homosexuals.
You are now more clear in the mind. You are more relaxed in the body, and you are coping better with everything and everybody. You are now more confident in yourself. You have greater self-control. Every day and in every way you feel life is becoming better and better… because the burdens have been lifted forever and ever now that you welcome life beyond homophobia.”
