Bigheadfred's Incomprehensible And Incoherent Rantography

[MeshugeMikey]

A Phobia is an unfounded fear.

I have no unfounded fear of homosexuals.

I have no unfounded fear of their militant urges. either.

I do fear the bastardization of terminology however.... a fear that could in no way be described as unfounded .

Another deception is the made-up word “homophobia,” which is a prized tool of the radical Left, a bludgeon designed to silence critics of the militant homosexual movement. A phobia is a persistent, irrational fear. It implies mental instability. After all, if your fear is not rational, then there’s something wrong in your thinking, and you are needlessly fearing whatever it is you irrationally fear.”

This is pretty much exactly what I have been saying for years. No one is afraid of homosexuals. We are merely disgusted by them.

I don’t fear homos either. They’re just biological freaks. What’s to fear? I don’t fear freaks.

How about “AIDsPhobia”, or “HIVPhobia”?

[Dilbert San Diego]

The impression I get is that liberals and gay activists are pissed off all the time. Just an observation. Getting nationwide homosexual marriage will not be enough. It would just move the goalposts, to set up more and more demands. And the cycle repeats, as the liberals will be pissed off that the next set of demands are not being met, because society is so homophobic, etc.

It all gets tiresome after a while.

Actually, when you look at the root of the words, you see that it is even more of a made-up word. As you note, phobia mean fear, especially irrational fear. But the correct meaning of “homo” is either “man”, as in homo sapiens, or “same”, as in homogeneous. So their word is either “fear of man” or “fear of sameness”. I don't fear man, nor do I fear sameness, so no matter what I may feel about homosexuals, homophobia is totally irrelevant as a descriptor.

I do not like the term “Homophobia” I work with a homosexual man. I am not afraid of him. My dislike of homosexuals has nothing to do with irrational fear. In fact I understand what they do quite well.

I dislike his lifestyle based upon assumptions that are dependable rationally, religiously and biologically. His morality is repellant and I do not condone it. We get along fine because I figure he has enough trouble with God that he doesn’t need any from me.

That said; he knows to never “flirt” with me and that if he does I will smack a sexual harassment complaint against him faster than he can change his skirt (Yes he will occasionally wear a skirt)

[factoryrat]

They’re confusing homophobia with gay bashing. I have no innate fear of homosexuals, although I thoroughly reject and condemn their errant and anti biological BEHAVIOR.

The author has a great point. Let's start using homophobia correctly - to refer to those who are afraid of homosexuals, and afraid to deny their demands, no matter how ridiculous.
