That gives homosexuals great power over MOST of the general population.
“There’s no such thing as homophobic. It was a made up word to take away your Right to Free Speech, Right to practice your religion and to make you liable for lawsuits. No More!!”
YES! AMEN! It magically puts the conservative on defense, and it derails the entire debate, sometimes before it ever even starts. It’s simple name-calling. The Left has a whole arsenal of these tactics. The Right has “socialist” and that’s about it.
The use of the term "homophobic" to label any and all who oppose of even fail to affirm homosexual relations is actually psychological tactic designed to intimidate and put the opposition on the defensive, consistent with the tactics laid out years ago in the "art of war manual" for the prohomosexual movement, "After the Ball." https://www.conservapedia.c...
However, rather than everyone who opposes or fails to affirm homosexual relations being driven by a irrational fear of homosexuals or of being one, the class of persons this term rationally applies to are those who submit to the PC demands of the prohomosexual movement out of fear of being called "homophobic" and other means (like forms of "economic sanctions").
Meanwhile, if a consensual religious practice such as taking part in the Lord's supper was the cause of HIV transmission btwn men in over 80% of cases, and at significant cost to taxpayers for treatment and or prevention, then it would not be promoted, and those who oppose (which would be overwhelming majority) and warn of it would hardly be accused of being driven by an irrational fear.

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:46) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Homosexual relations versus the Bible.html (http://peacebyjesus.witness...
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
“Homophobic” implies the FEAR of homosexuality. I don’t fear any of them, I just don’t want their lifestyle on full display where we have to see it. I also don’t want them telling me I have to care about their agenda...I don’t, and I never will. It totally disgusts me.
I agree. I don't fear them transmitting diseases that kill themselves off or leave them disabled.
A better term would be “Heterophobic” because they seem to have dillusions that they are being persecuted by the consequences of their own actions.
