Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of requirements for firms’ codes of
conduct when addressing homophobia in the context of continued colonialism and coloniality.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper is a literature study.
Findings – First, occidental firms’ codes of conduct are shown to endanger indigenous homosexual
individuals by endangering the protection offered by their indigenous ethics and society. Second, it is shown
that tackling homophobia in firms’ codes of conduct on the foundation of occidental ethics forces homosexual
individuals to conform to occidental homosexual identities in a world of a multitude of indigenous and hybrid
homosexualities and identities render firms’ codes of conduct expressions of continued colonialism and
coloniality. Third, a sole reliance on occidental conceptualizations of homophobia is shown to potentially
camouflage unethical nationalistic and xenophobic intents.
Research limitations/implications – Additional research is needed on the dynamics of coexisting
multiple indigenous homosexual identities, and reliable ways to determine the substance of indigenous
homosexual identities need to be developed in the context of continued colonialism and coloniality.
Practical implications – Firms need to be cognizant of conflicting identities, hybrid identities and
changing identities over time while avoiding to use purported protection against homophobia as a camouflage
for nationalistic and xenophobic purposes.
Social implications – The paper ways to address the protection against homophobia in firms’ codes of
conduct in the context of continued colonialism and coloniality.
Originality/value – This paper closes a gap in the literature by considering firms’ codes of conduct as
favouring homophobia as a result of continued colonialism and coloniality
