Homofobia
Homofobia refers to aversion, hatred, fear, prejudice, or discrimination against gay, bisexual, or transgender people, as well as those who display behaviors traditionally associated with the opposite sex, such as metrosexuals or those con pluma (a term for acting flamboyant or effeminate). It is not a strictly psychiatric term but a social one, often used in the context of global violence and legal persecution against the LGBTQ+ community.
What is Homofóbico? 1. For example, mocking Jari Ramirez (a popular Dominican entertainment reporter) or other local personalities by ridiculing their mannerisms, or talking shit about another maricón just for being one. 2. The belief that two men cannot be very close to each other. 3. Claiming that being partido (Dominican slang for gay) is too maricón. Being a maricón has no specific scale; it is diverse, ranging from the most flamboyant loca (literally crazy woman, used for a queen) to the most masculine man. 4. Using derogatory names like Cundango, Plumífero, Maricón, or Pájaro (all common Dominican slurs for gay men). Gays are human beings before they are a nickname. Homofobia in the Dominican Republic is a deep social issue.
