Once a label is attached to a minority, it opens the door to discrimination

de Volkskrant22 September · 12:001 day ago

A study by Utrecht University and the Trimbos Institute reveals that students have become more negative toward homosexuality in recent years, prompting reactions from Volkskrant readers. Dijko Kamphuis argues that categorizing sexual diversity into LGBT boxes leads to stigmatization and discrimination, advocating for an education on sexual variations instead. Other readers criticize the premise of measuring acceptance of a natural phenomenon, with Willem Bustraan calling such research absurd, while others express general support for LGBT rights but note that media coverage often oversimplifies gender types into just homosexuality.
