Homophobia,biphobia and transphobia are an approach with fear, prejudice, discrimination and aversion towards LGBT people. Homophobia,biphobia and transphobia mean fear, and are directly related with sexism, domination and legitimation of the system, in short, are any belief before a free and just form of life.

American Psychiatrists Association (APA), classified homosexuality directly as not a choice but a natural occurrence, not creating a defect for the person and is unchangable, therefore, removing homosexuality from mental illness’ classificiaton, and summoned all psychologists to fight against the misjudgements. In 1974, both European and American Psychological Institutes have completely removed questions and facts regarding homosexuality from diagnostic tests. In 1990, homosexuality has been removed from World Health Organisation (WHO)’s illnesses and disturbances concept.

Homosexuals and heterosexuals meet the homophobia, biphobia and transphobia from early school days. Masculine girls and feminine boys are made fun of and are sometimes even exposed to violence. These children are made fun of even before they are aware of their sexuality (being called names like “butch” for girls or “faggot/puof” for boys) and are isolated from social environments.
