The word “homophobe” is an oxymoron. Nobody is afraid of queers, just of the PC consequences of openly opposing the perversion.
Many queers need mental and spiritual help, many have been recruited against their knowledge or moral/spiritual being. Others know what they are doing is sick and disgusting, deep down those ones know it’s wrong, but don’t want to acknowledge it, that’s why they want forced acceptance of it via their fascism.
I agree, the only thing worse than evil is otherwise good and decent people doing nothing to stop it out of fear or other excuses.
I’ve been accused of being a homophobe by those near and should be dear, and got involved in a huge ruckus with them such that I had to change my screen name on FR, and some of them refuse to communicate with me to this day. They tried to get me disinherited and almost did manage. So I used the word in sort of jest.
