The curriculum defines “homophobia” as a “disparaging or hostile attitude or a negative bias, which may be overt or unspoken and which may exist at an individual and/or a systemic level, towards people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT).”(IOW, queers)

A phobia is an unwarranted or unfounded FEAR. We don't FEAR them, but they do disturb or disgust us if we're normal (the new N word!).

I certainly don't fear them as individuals, but I do fear the damage they can do to society.
