Homophobe (n) - a perjorative term invented by homosexual advocates in an attempt to pretend that people with a natural dislike of homosexual relations, are somehow "afraid" of something.
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

So are some gays heterophobes?
If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,
like sheep to the slaughter.

You're right. Homophobe is probably the wrong term. I think many are referring to the extreme anti gay folks who seem to be obsessed/disgusted with the thought of gay sex. In Congress, we do tend to find that those who push the hardest against gay rights issues, are the ones who rent boytoys, frequent airport bathrooms for gay sex, etc..
If your father's gay, that means (possibly) he either didn't realize he was gay before he married/had kids, or you are adopted by two fathers. If the latter, you seem to be proof that gay couples should be able to adopt, and raise children.
You seem to have turned out ok.
Prove that heterosexuals discussed in this thread are afraid of gays. It would make sense for the premise of this thread to be proven first, which is impossible, because it's simply not. There are many who are against gays, gay marriage, dislike them, hate them, find them disgusting - some love them, like them, support them - in other words many people feel many things. I've yet to meet even one person who was afraid of gays.

Must be why they call them breeders...like it is supposed to be some kind of insult.
