society, ranging from discriminatory legislation to overt hate
crimes. For this activity, analyze the causes and effects of
homophobic behavior through the lens of a symbolic interactionist,
functionalist, and conflict theorist. Consider how each perspective
views the role of society and the individual in determining and
responding to gender and sexuality norms and perceived
deviance.
analyze an example of homophobia you’ve witnessed using the
three perspectives and appropriate terminology from the text. Be
sure to (1) describe the central concepts of each sociological
perspective, and (2) differentiate between each perspective’s view
of factors that caused your example as well as the implications of
your example on individuals and society, such as role shaping and
health disparities
