Internalized homophobia refers to the negative feelings and attitudes that LGBTQ+ individuals may adopt about their own sexual orientation due to societal stigma and discrimination. This can manifest as self-hatred, shame, or denial about one's identity, leading to harmful behaviors and mental health issues. It often stems from societal norms that view heterosexuality as the standard, causing individuals to internalize these prejudices. Overcoming internalized homophobia typically involves self-acceptance, support from the community, and challenging societal norms.
