The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Consider the types of derogatory labeling that sociologists study and explain how these might apply to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Society has many derogatory labels that are used to discriminate and many times insult people that have a different sexual orientation than heterosexuals. Masculinity in the US society is valued, and people use derogatory labels to ridicule other men that are gay calling names such as "f*g" or "queen," among other names. Although the American Psychology Association (APA) considers homosexuality as a normal trait of sexuality in humans, people insist on ridicule gay and lesbian people and this affects the morale of these people.
