for those that don’t understand the term ‘homophobic’...

‘homophobic’ was chosen as a passive aggressive attack against any resistance to the homo culture by men. the term ‘phobic’ means ‘to fear’, which no one does, but is meant to provoke a kneejerk reaction of ‘i’m not afraid of anything’ response in men.

the proper term for someone that is disgusted by or repelled by homosexuality would be ‘homomisia’

Siri, should Chekhov attend Sulu’s gay wedding?

When posing a question to Siri in a language it understands, I wonder if the response is determined by whether or not recognized pejoratives are used in the question.

For example, if Siri, when listening and speaking Russian, is programmed to understand that all words describing homosexuals are pejorative, will answer with "stop being rude", etc. to any and all questions about them.

If so, then Siri may not "know any better." If Siri answers that way even when neutral/clinical terms are used, then Apple has some interesting questions to answer!
