“I don’t think it is non existent...”

Really!?
Just what exactly is homophobia, then?
Homophobia by definition is irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals . I have known people that were afraid to be in the same room with homosexuals. There are people that hate ALL homosexuals and there are people that will bully and physically abuse someone because they are a homosexual.
I don’t think that all crime against a homosexual is committed because they are homosexual but there is some.
Homophobia is NOT opposition to the lifestyle or political agenda of homosexuals. I oppose those things. However, I am not afraid of them nor do I hate them. I have two family members that are homosexual. I love them because they are family. They know how I feel about their lifestyle. I am not homophobic because I oppose the lifestyle.
Just because the left overuses a word like homophobia that does not mean that it doesn’t exist. The problem is allowing the left to define the terms and shape the argument.
Homophobes are those who have sexual intercourse with people of the same sex, who refer to themselves as "gay" because they cannot admit to themselves that they are indeed homosexuals.
