Homophobia is the hatred or fear of homosexuals

Now look up Islamophobia. I'm curious to your reaction. I'm more interested in the political association of the word than the dictionary meeting. You can call a businessman "petite-bougouise" and "petite-bougouise" might even be in the dictionary and be technically correct, but have different implications. Calling a principled Christian opponent to homosexual behavior a "homophobe" is just like calling your local business owner "petite-bougouise".

[Marcus Aurelius]

Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, and may be based on irrational fear

[Marcus Aurelius]

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force defines "homophobia" as:

the fear and hatred of women or men who love and sexually desire those of the same sex. We also use it to mean prejudice, discrimination, harassment and acts of violence brought on by that fear, misinformation and hatred.

Homophobia includes:

• Assuming that everyone you meet is heterosexual
  
• Using the terms "gay," "lesbian," "fag," "dyke," or "queer" in an accusatory way
  
  
• Feeling that lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people are too outspoken about LGBT rights
  
• Not confronting a heterosexist remark, or feeling the need to clarify that you are straight when supporting LGBT rights, for fear of being identified as a lesbian, gay man, bisexual, or transgendered person.
• Thinking you can "spot one"
• Stereotyping gay men, lesbians, or bisexuals as promiscuous, separatists, radicals, or "recruiters," or using those terms in an accusatory way
• Being afraid to shake hands with or hug a lesbian, gay man, bisexual, or transgendered person
• Looking at a bisexual, lesbian, gay man, or transgendered person and immediately thinking of her/his sexuality, rather then seeing him/her as a whole, complex person

Still nothing on "Islamophobia", huh? And you're quoting "The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force"? That sounds like a good solid conservative organization to me!

[Marcus Aurelius]

'If you start a thread about the word homophobe, because someone called you a homophobe, just to prove you're not a homophobe... you might be a homophobe.'

[Marcus Aurelius]

'If you use the word fag, homo, dyke in a derogatory manner to describe someone... you might be a homophobe'

[Marcus Aurelius]

'If you repeatedly post definitions of every phobia BUT homphobia, just to try and prove that you're not a homophobe... you might be a homophobe.'

Have you recently moved to Cambridge or P-Town? You sound just like Lena Dunham. None of what your doing is new to me, it's just that it's generally found in pro-gay marriage rallies and other gay venues. Note to Jafar00: You can start nicknaming Marcus "Islamophobe".

Thanks for proving our point, Marcus.

Thanks for proving our point, Marcus.

I don't know if he's just being an argumentative old crank or really supports the "alternative lifestyle" agenda. Either could be the case.

[Marcus Aurelius]

If people like you want to hate gays, that's your right. However, at least have the balls to admit it and stop hiding behind semantics.

Or both. I hear old homos can get really bitchy.

That's funny, the most hateful person at this forum lecturing others about hatred. LOL!
