Abstract

This article critiques an educational intervention aimed at teaching heterosexual university students in Nigeria about homophobia, heterosexual privilege, and LGB inclusion. While positive outcomes were observed, including increased awareness and empathy toward LGB individuals, the article highlights challenges in altering deeply ingrained attitudes and the limitations of the methods used. The critique also addresses the assumption that awareness alone can prompt attitudinal change and emphasizes the need for structural and intersectional approaches to foster more sustainable change.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
