How did the word homophobe come about? How about “gay”?
Homophobe: Dislike of same things. e.g. Dislike of twins, Dislike of RINOS and libs, Dislike of Socialists and democRats.
Heck, "gay" has been around for centuries (back to about AD 1300?, meaning "showy," and the drag queen (female impersonator) Will S. Hays sung "The Gay Young Clerk in the Dry Goods Store" in the 1860s. Late in the 19th Century, it was tied to hobos' catamite companions ("gey"), or prostitution ("gay houses").
"Homophobia" comes George Weinberg in the 1960s, first published in 1971, and popularized with his 1972 book, Society and the Healthy Homosexual. However, he said it was: "...a fear of homosexuals which seemed to be associated with a fear of contagion, a fear of reducing the things one fought for—home and family. It was a religious fear and it had led to great brutality as fear always does." But, of course, the dishonest lefties distorted the term.
