It is indeed a 'phobia'. The root of bigotry has always been fear.

Though I cannot argue at all with the 'asshole' part.

It is hard to tell sometimes - but the misspelled name is a dead giveaway in this case.

Good to have you here! I'm not much of a tweeter either but I do find it interesting.

Anyway - there's a lot to do and we have an election to win.




So get to work.

So he doesn't know how to spell his name? Or it isn't him. But it is an appropriate statement.

still gay bashers and homophobes wouldn't stop hating if G*d, or Jesus walked into their living room and told them knock it off now..."what part of Love your neighbor as yourself" didn't you understand..(i stole that quote)

However, for the ones so deeply closeted they despise what they see in themselves as "feminine" and by extension, all women and all gays, it almost does rise to the level of a phobia. They all seem to feel contaminated somehow by sex with either.

A couple of decades ago, some psychologists wired up a bunch of bigots to a variety of somatic sensors which, they say, can do a pretty accurate job of measuring someone's level of fear&anxiety reactions to stimuli. They found that of all the different kinds of hating bigots, it was the homophobes who had the strongest streak of real fear -- something not at all prominent with, for instance, race-based hate.

The second strongest fear reaction was to feminists.

From watching Republicans, it's obvious that homophobes aren't terrified of gays.

They're terrified that they are gay.

Homophobia is "fear of the same" or "fear of the like." It has nothing to do with hating homosexuals. And it is strange that it would be accepted as such, since "homo" is considered an insulting way to refer to gay people.
