This document discusses a presentation given by six students on homophobia and the contradiction it poses for patient care. Each student identified a different challenge related to homophobia: how it affects male nurses and nursing culture, its effect on military personnel under Don't Ask Don't Tell, how it impacts sports athletes, the problems it poses when a same-sex partner cannot visit or make decisions for a patient, how it influences the nursing care provided to patients, and whether homophobia can cause suicide.
