  • Homonegativity is a term, proposed for use by Hudson and Ricketts in 1980, for description of a negative attitude towards homosexuality or homosexual people, instead of the term homophobia. The term "homophobia" has a strongly negative political meaning and is perceived as pejorative and loaded. The exact meaning of the term "homonegativity" is a subject of scientific discussion and disagreement. Hudson and Ricketts propose to use this term as descriptive for any negative attitude towards homosexuality (be it emotional, moral or intellectual disapproval), regardless of the sources of this attitude (be it based on religious, moral, ideological or other beliefs). They also propose to stop using "homophobia" in scientific context as it is a scientifically incorrect term. Russian sexologist M. Beilkin proposes to use the term "homonegativity" only for intellectual disapproval of homosexuality, leaving the term "homophobia" for description of emotions and feelings towards homosexuality, such as fear, hatred, aversion. He does not consider the term "homophobia" wholly inaccurate, and says that homophobia really exists as a distinct phenomenon. In this view, homonegativity and homophobia are distinct terms, describing different things. Charles Socarides, a well-known proponent of conversion therapy, says that it is scientifically incorrect to label as "homonegativity" any aversion to homosexuality which is based on traditional moral or religious views in their fullness. He claims homonegativity as distinct from homophobia, as a religious or moral basis to specifically oppose homosexuality or homosexuals, while not being so strict about other, unrelated moral or religious normatives.
