Abstract
Homophobic violence, that is, violence directed at an individual perceived by his/her assailants to be homosexual, is a pervasive social problem in the U.S. Research indicates that antigay violence differs markedly from generic violence (that is, violence not motivated by hatred of homosexuals) on several variables. These differences appear to affect the course of treatment and recovery for gay victims, and make necessary specialized interventions. Strategies for service delivery to, and engaging victims of, homophobic violence are considered, as are idiosyncratic clinical concerns, and preventive interventions. The relationship of homophobic violence to the maintenance of the male sex role is also examined.
