What is homophobia?
“Homophobia can take many different forms, including negative attitudes and beliefs about, aversion to, or prejudice against bisexual, lesbian, and gay people. It’s often based in irrational fear and misunderstanding. Some people’s homophobia may be rooted in conservative religious beliefs. People may hold homophobic beliefs if they were taught them by parents and families.”

It has been defined as contempt, prejudice, aversion, hatred, or antipathy, may be based on irrational fear and may sometimes be attributed to religious beliefs.

In the United States, citizens do not vote directly on most federal government spending or tax decisions, as these powers are primarily handled by elected representatives in Congress. However, they do have indirect influence through elections, where they can choose representatives who align with their views on fiscal policies.
On a state and local level, citizens have more opportunities to vote directly on certain spending and tax issues, particularly through ballot initiatives and referendums. Many states allow voters to approve or reject specific tax proposals, bond measures for public projects, or changes to state spending limits.
