目的：这篇评论强调了同性恋恐惧症的影响，对男同性恋者和女同性恋者的反感或蔑视，这是对这个基本上不熟悉和以前隐藏的社会部分的广泛反应。数据来源：同行评审和非同行评审的期刊文章，已发表和未发表的调查报告，当前报纸对事件的报道，美国人口普查数据，都被整合到一起，以概述同性恋恐惧症的社会，心理和医疗后果。数据合成：从精神病学，医学和社会文化的角度分析了现有的信息，以提供有关同性恋和同性恋恐惧症的医学影响的已知科学的更新。结论：同性恋偏见的医学和心理影响是深刻的发展自我概念的青年以及成年人谁承认同性取向。医疗从业人员也不能免受社会偏见的影响，可能会表现出对男同性恋和女同性恋患者的蔑视。患者感受到这种蔑视，这使他们与医疗系统疏远，减少了筛查方式的使用，有可能提高感染、癌症和心脏病的发病率和死亡率。同性恋在遗传或生物学上都没有危险，但风险因素是通过同性恋恐惧症产生的。因此，同性恋恐惧症的过程异性恋者对同性恋者的社会化，以及随之而来的男同性恋者和女同性恋者对自己的制约，构成了一个合理的健康危害。政府，机构，教育和医疗的同性恋恐惧症的决议进行了讨论，这将提高医疗服务的质量提供给男同性恋者和女同性恋者，并对这一人群的健康和生活质量产生有利的影响。
Purpose: This review highlights the effects of homophobia, the antipathy or disdain for gay men and lesbians, which is a widespread response to this largely unfamiliar and previously hidden segment of society. Data Sources: Peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journal articles, published and unpublished survey reports, current newspaper coverage of events, U.S. census data, are all integrated to produce an overview of societal, psychosocial, and medical consequences of homophobia. Data Synthesis: The available information has been analyzed from a psychiatric, medical, and sociocultural perspective in order to provide an update on the known science about homosexuality and the medical effects of homophobia. Conclusions: The medical and psychological effects of homophobic prejudice are profound on the developing self-concept of youths as well as adults who recognize a same-sex orientation. Medical practitioners are not immune from societal prejudice and may demonstrate disdain for gay men and lesbians as patients. Patients perceive this disdain, which alienates them from the medical system, reducing utilization of screening modalities, risking higher morbidity and mortality from infections, cancers, and heart disease. Being gay or lesbian is not genetically or biologically hazardous, but risk factors are conferred through homophobia. Therefore, the process of homophobia—the socialization of heterosexuals against homosexuals and concomitant conditioning of gays and lesbians against themselves—poses a legitimate health hazard. Governmental, institutional, educational, and medical resolutions of homophobia are discussed which would improve the quality of medical care provided to gay men and lesbians, and have a favorable impact on the health and quality of life of this population.
