The term is neither new nor is it used as is claimed above. Homosexuals and their defenders use the word "homophobe" and its derivatives as a means to denigrate those who believe homosexuality is a deviance and is morally wrong. In this sense the word "homophobe" and its derivatives are nothing more than liberal hate speech.
True, homophobe has been used for several years now as a derisive term for anyone who does not buy in to the homosexual normal acceptancy agenda. In particular it applies to high school students who refuse to wear the Gay Straight Alliance ribbon.
Well, for me the term is relatively new. I agree that the term is used for the most part to advance the homosexual agenda by attempting to demonize those who justly oppose the homosexualization of society. This Bishop is doing his best to teach the complete truth objectively without invoking motive.
