Stop ceding the language to the Marxists. “Homophobia” is a made-up word. Literally, “fear of the same”.

If they wanted a more accurate term, it’s “homosexophobia”. But even that has a problem.

Phobias are irrational fears. But there’s nothing irrational about feeling revulsion toward homosexuality.

There is nothing irrational about calling sin “sin” either, and recognizing when something is wrong because it violates natural law.

Should not have done it. Those 2 kids have a stable family. That’s all we can ask. Let them figure it out when they’re adults. Queer bashing doesn’t work.

A better term is “homomisia” which pertains to disgust and abhorrence with homosexuals and homosexuality (it comes from the Greek word “miseo” which means “to loathe, abhorrent”.)

There is a big difference between revulsion and fear.
