“Regarding “homophobia”. Exactly what is that? Most conservatives are totally against the mainstreaming of perversion, but don’t feel that queers should be held criminally liable for their behavior. Additionally, none of us fear fags per se, we just resent the acquiescence to the extremely marginal view that a sick behavior that has been shunned over 5000 years of human history, is now in the “enlightened” progressive view, suddenly perfectly acceptable, even a badge of honor.”

Sociologists actually have made the point that it isn’t a “phobia” at all. But the media and therefore public keeps using this term because it’s more emotionally charged. The correct term is “heterosexism.” Personally I don’t really care what technical term people use, but that’s why it’s still called that.

Still sounds like heterosexuals are the ones with the problem.

The correct term is “normal”.

Best example of "homophobia" is the use of the word "gay" by homosexuals to describe themselves.

Self-loathing and self-hatred prevents them from calling themselves homosexual, so they use the word "gay" to make their perversion not only acceptable to the public but more importantly as acceptable to themselves.
