Reply #75: Uh, I don't think your citation helps you much.

From the first line of your Wikipedia citation:

"Homophobia (from Greek homós: one and the same; phóbos: fear, phobia) is an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals."

To suggest that an individual who advocates restrictive regulation of firearms acquisition and possession is suffering from an irrational fear that prompts panic attacks at the sight of a firearm or an image of a firearm is pig ignorant.

I honestly believe most of the anti-firearm folks I have talked to are in fact suffering from an irrational, or at best uninformed fear of firearms.

I think it's funny how you advocate that the word "homophobia" isn't really a phobia but is instead a pejorative (even though your citation says otherwise), but the other word is actually a phobia and is not a pejorative.

The fact of the matter is, they are both pejoratives most of the time.
