Then I would be a homophobic person, except I don't fear/hate/wish death upon homosexual people. I have never said that something I don't like is homosexual. I have said "that's gay". However I am using the word gay in the slang form. The slang for the word Gay can refer to not liking something OR homosexuality. However, by the words very definition, gay =/= homosexuality.Some_weirdGuy said:Perhaps you should learn the meaning of homophobia instead of spewing 'but i'm not scared of homosexuals' over and over?Volf99 said:And again you label me as homophobic. Stop dodging the question and tell me how my choice in words equates to me having a fear of homosexuals. I have clearly stated that homosexuals are regular people, not someone to fear/hate. Yet you continue to tell me that I'm afraid of them. Please tell me where my fear is coming from, because I wasn't aware of the "fact" that I fear/hate homosexuals. Also, why do you continue to call me a troll? Are you really that convinced that I can't being expressing my true opinion?
Literally the first result in google:
Associate homosexuality as a bad thing, you're displaying homophobia. Pretty simple.Homophobia is a term used to refer to a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards lesbian, gay and in some cases bisexual, transgender people and behavior, although these are usually covered under other terms such as biphobia and transphobia. Definitions refer to irrational fear, with the implication of antipathy, contempt, prejudice, and aversion. The term "homophobia" is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of a perceived homosexual or in some cases any non-heterosexual orientation. In a 1998 address, author, activist, and civil rights leader Coretta Scott King stated that "Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood."
In fact, the word's first three definitions in the merriam-webster dictionary refer to it as a emotional state. Here is the link:
