Gay panic defense is a term used to describe a rare but high-profile legal defense against charges of assault or murder. According to the gay panic defense, romantic or sexual propositions of a homosexual nature are so offensive and frightening to certain individuals that they can bring on a temporary psychotic state characterized by unusual violence. The defense often sparks outrage within the gay community when it is used, where it is said to be 'blaming the victim.' No analogous defense pertaining to heterosexual encounters has been recorded.
