Thanks.

Another one that I like is the bastardized homo-phobia, which, if it were to be literally interpreted means "self-fearing".

Since I do not "fear myself" then it is incorrect to refer to me as a homo-phobe, even though I might maintain, for example, that homosexuality is an abhorrent, deviant behavior, and that those who practice and promote it are repugnant, reprobates .
