In the ancient times of the Greeks homosexuality was celebrated as the highest form of love in the known world but today people’s opinions on homosexuality are almost completely opposite. In society today if a person is gay they are usually put into a stereotype of being neurotic, child molesting predators. The truth is that most gay stereotypes are just a way for people to create buffers from the things that they fear. Society itself was built on a foundation of superficial values that would eventually lead to the belief that homosexuality was a mental disorder or a disease. To prevent this alleged disease from spreading, people went as far as committing adolescents who portrayed homosexual behavior to sanitariums.

The blame should really be falling on those people who are not thinking about what they are doing and are not making smart choices.
The media is the third and last of the main anti-gay groups of society. Gays are usually portrayed on TV as jealous, deceitful, girly, and feminine. In movies they were usually used as purely antagonistic characters because they thought that a gay person never deserves to be the hero. Silence of the lambs is a good example of how the media likes to portray homosexuals as. Even radio shows get in on the action laughing and jeering at each other’s homophobic jokes on the air. MTV though, recently released a groundbreaking made for TV movie called “Anatomy of a Hate Crime: The Murder of Matthew Shepard.” This movie tells of the life of a gay Wyoming College student who was beaten and pistol-whipped to death by two homophobic college students. MTV’s movie was the first movie of this genre to be released because of the public outcry that followed.
