Homophobe is a term with no meaning.

quote:

irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals

It's a word that is accurately used when describing, for example, people who want people to be disallowed from marrying each other because they are of the same sex.

Been seeing a lot of angry people on TD lately since the KY lady got put in jail.

Are you homophobic, and if so why?


Does not being able to stand A&M fans and hating A&M make me a homophobe?

I didn't ask you for a dictionary definition. I asked," what does the word mean to you?"

However, homophobic is a term that was made up by the gay community to denigrate anyone that didn't agree with their choices.
It was coined by a psychologist who found it unnecessary to include homosexuality in the DSM. Out of your arse you are talking.

They can frick all they want.

I just don't appreciate them infringing on the Married™ that has been the exclusive province of heteros for centuries.

Civil unions would be fine.

How Homophobia is defined is a moving target.
This has been true of every single word since the Normans met with the Angles and the Saxons. Please forgive the rest of the world for not snapping to it when it comes to a word that is younger than Sticky Fingers.

Homophobe is about as useless a term as racist.

Would you much rather prefer the term of "close minded prick"?

Sorry. They are equal, and they are to be treated equally. They will be as married as Larry King.

It's ok to be homophobic. You were probably born that way. It's ok to come out and admit that you are one

The term homophobe is bullshite.

I am grossed out by them but never did think about it one way or another until the massive all out blitz to equate it to being normal started a few years back, along with the concept that if you don't go along with everything the gay mafia wants there is something wrong with you. frick that.

The term applies to you according to Oxford and Merriam-Webster.

So does the term narcissist. Nobody has ever asked or demanded that you go along with anything whatsoever.

Right. That person is being bigoted when he does that. Just like the person calling him an idiot and laughing at him because of his views. The definition goes both ways. Not just one

It fits with the victim mentality. If you're convinced everyone hates you, you can claim victim status.

Exactly the driving force of this whole argument. Christians think they are being persecuted by allowing gay people the same rights they have. Thanks for understanding.
