Actually no thats the other APA, you know Marmor, Spitzer, and the gang at The American Psychiatric Association who removed the pathology from the DSM. I was talking about the American Psychological Association. But since youve obviously not bothered to look it up either way its apparent your education doesnt go past the occasional reading the odd dictionary word.
ROFL! You come up with some definition of homophobe backed up by the pro-homosexual APA...
obscure weirdo Umm The APA is the one who invented the word but dont let facts get in your way this is fun. But youre right the APA is pro homosexual so why do you deny your own abbreviated definition invented and defined by the APA as being homosexual propaganda OR are you just the convenient hypocrite caught in a lie?
and accuse me "contortions" for using the term "homophobe" in it's generally understood context...
Its generally understood meaning is homosexual propaganda and should your memory have the capacity to remember your own words it was you who accused me of contortions if I recall.
which is a person who suffers from an inordinate fear and dread of homosexuals.
OK thats a start good buddy but he rest of the definition involves denial of latent tendencies which lay dictionaries conveniently leave out for PC reasons.
You know I'm right...admit it already.
Hell no this is too much fun. I give facts and you give opinion, its great bravado, lets let the lurkers decide whos full of sh!t and whos not. Carry on captain.
But it seems you are really keeping up on your gay lingo....almost as if it is your native language.....hmmmmm.
OK you caught me ...I'm "gay".
Excuse me, but you simply refered to the APA and made no such distinction in the post I was responding to.
It's not my job to research your posts to determine what sources of information you are citing...especially when you don't even bother clarifying them yourself.
And you use this weak point to criticize another's education? LOL!
In any case it doesn't matter. The wacky definition of "homophobe" you posted is clearly not the normally understood or socially accepted usage of the term.

What on earth are you talking about?
I simply refered to the FACT that the normal, the generally accepted and understood use of the term "homophobe" is a person who has an inordinate or irrational fear or dread of homosexuals.
What does stating this fact have to do with "homosexual propaganda" or "hypocrisy" or ANY of the numerous incoherant disconnected accusations you feel the need to throw at anybody who disagrees with you?
You are clearly hypersensitive and overly defensive to anybody using the term "homophobe". I wonder why that is?
OK thats a start good buddy but he rest of the definition involves denial of latent tendencies which lay dictionaries conveniently leave out for PC reasons.
Huh? What is PC about avoiding definitions of "homophobes" that make them look even WORSE, and more emotionally disturbed?
What's PC about a definition that makes "homophobes" look better?
Homosexual activists are the only ones I've heard attempt to label all homophobes as closet homosexuals.
You've got it backwards.
"But it seems you are really keeping up on your gay lingo....almost as if it is your native language.....hmmmmm."

I realize how hard it was for you to admit this.
But confession is good for the soul and it is the first step in recovery.
You're getting closer to the truth. Don't give up!
