Homophobia is the prejudice against individuals who are attracted to same-sex people and is a broad term that refers to a variety of unfavorable attitudes and sentiments towards homosexuality or those who are seen or recognized as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Homophobia can be seen in negative and aggressive actions like violence and bias against non-heterosexual sexual orientations. Objective: The aim of this study is to know how youth perceive homosexuals, what their attitude is towards them, and how supportive they are towards this section of society. The survey has been conducted to ascertain what Indian youngsters take on homophobia and to measure the prevalence of homophobia in the youth, particularly in college-going students. This study also focuses on the various negative beliefs that youth might endure. Method: A survey method was employed to collect the data and the participants are young students between the age of 18 to 26. The primary data for this survey has been taken from the research conducted, while the secondary data provided is taken from several books and other newspaper articles related to this survey. Findings: The study concludes that there is a significant homophobic population under this age group. These results collectively imply that there are still certain myths about homosexuality that persist today, such as the idea that gays are perverts or that homosexuality is a mental disorder. We can assume that homophobia exists among young people.
