It’s enough to bring on a bout of taxophobia.

From here:

The Université de Québec at Montréal is the first on the North American continent to fund a research chair devoted to studying homophobia.

Sexological research undertaken by the university hopes to quantify effects of homophobia on the LGBT community and inform public debate on policy and social justice.

The Quebecois government has given $475,000 (CAD), around £290,000, to the French-speaking university’s programme, which was launched in a ceremony attended by Jean Charest, the Premier of Quebec.
