I have never known anyone who is actually afraid of them.

Hom0phobia is the hate or fear of -blam!-s.

And I don't see the negative effects the pursuit of equality has on society.

That guy insulted liberals then turned out to be homophobic, not surprising.


Both of you clearly do not know what the definition of a phobia is, it only deals with an irrational fear of something.

And if you are insulted by something I typed on the internet, then wow.

No it doesn't. It's the fear of it, or the aversion of it. (Which means you dislike it).

And also ever heard of the ghey flu? You know that moral panic concerning AIDS and it being associated with ghhey people?
Is that not a fear of ghey people?

Oh and why is this word still blocked? It's absurd.

Remove discrimination based on religion, race, gender, and -blam!- preference.
This. Seriously, we'd be in a better place without discrimination.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I'd make it so people don't have the ability to lie.

Whoa...that would turn out extremely weird.
Anyway, drug addicts. I don't like them.


It'd cause a huge shock, like a needle injection. The result would depend entirely on whether or not society is capable of living with its true self.

It'd cure a lot of evils. Democracy would work. Education would be legitimate. There would be no fraud. I could go on.

Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Remove liberalism

Yes, remove the pursuit of equality.

Watch this.

You make me laugh. How in the world was I implying anything about -blam!-s? I just don't like liberalism. Deal with it.
Liberalism is essential to a prosperous, free, and equal society.

lulz no. America is one of the single most prosperous, free AND equal societies that humans have ever created. Currently we are a conservative nation, but becoming a liberal nation could only be our downfall. I'm not even talking about equality or whatever. Liberalism means big government. Liberalism means taxing everyone. Liberalism means the redistribution of wealth. What does that all sound like? Oh yeah, that one "c" word.

Once you liberals realize that a perfect order of a utopian society isn't possible, I'll be inclined to take you more seriously.

I probably should just stop talking now because I'm getting way too political lol.

Definition of a homophobe.

I'd prefer to just destroy society. It's beyond hope.

Massive overreaction as usual, bit like saying anything right wing is close to fascism.

THE ANGST

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

i like how in America Liberalism is considered the leftist position when the rest of the world recognises it as pretty middle-of-the-road.

we should prolly stay away from politics though...

Who ever said I was right wing? I'm neither. Both right wingers and left wingers are stupid, but it's just in my opinion that liberalism is even worse for society.

Communism=liberalism, and you can't deny that. Liberalism doesn't always equal communism, but if you get far enough, it will.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Add common sense/skepticism/curiosity.

It's called a PHOBIA for a reason. You can hate something and not have a phobia against it. And we really shouldn't be having this discussion.

I know what a phobia is, but this description can refer to both hate and fear.

Again, misinformation and ignorance are at fault here. Liberalism =/= communism.

The US is not a conservative nation. A conservative nation is one like Iraq.

So it looks like Dictionary.com needs to fix there Homophobe definition. They really need people to check these kind of things often.

synonyms:
aversion, hatred

wikipedia
Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homo-blam!-ity or people who are identified or perceived as being -blam!-, -blam!-, bi-blam!- or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, and may be based on irrational fear

  • 12.27.2012 4:52 PM PDT

....I realize that. However the definition of Phobia is "Irrational fear". Why should Homophobia have "Irrational fear or hate" just cause the prefix Homophobia is in it. Unless Homophobia now means Hate.

A phobia is an irrational fear. Nothing more. We're not going to go an change textbook definitions just cause a certain group has haters.
