Eliminate Homophobia

Homophobia is the irrational fear or hatred of Gay and Lesbian people. It can be the cause of conflicts in neighborhoods, workplaces, and homes.

Homophobia is the name of the kind of oppression faced by LGBT people, which can lead to hate crimes and violence.

Homophobia is learned and can be unlearned!
You can increase your safety and reduce homophobia in our community by:

Interrupting jokes about LGBT people.

Getting to know your LGBT neighbors.

Having a speaker from BRAVO talk to your softball team, co-workers, classmates, scout troop, or any other group of people about homophobia and safety.

Report violence when you see it or when it happens to someone you know.

BRAVO provides training on issues related to homophobia, safety, and self-defense for community members and professionals, which includes law enforcement agencies & officials, educators, social service organizations, as well as LGBT student and community groups.
