Dans l’esprit du texte, les discriminations transphobes seraient incluses dans l’homophobie. Nous pensons néanmoins qu’il serait bien préférable de mentionner la transphobie comme une discrimination spécifique. Ce point semble loin d’être acquis.
Or, on l’a dit, ce rejet trouve sa source à la fois dans l’homophobie et dans le sexisme. En revanche, la gayphobie est une variante de l’homophobie : ce qui dérange le gayphobe , c’est la sexualité du gay, rien d’autre. Pour être tout à fait clair c’est que ce soit un pédé.
