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".

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

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