Stereotypes of homosexuals are misperceptions and generalizations about homosexuals, specifically homosexual males. Stereotyping is often a result of homophobia, whereby any person possessing one of these traits is considered gay and is perceived to have all of these traits regardless of personality quirks and individual beliefs.
