Just a note. Your Political Correctness shows a lack of education.
Homophobia. A word used to describe people against the practice of homosexuality or the practice itself.
Let's break down the word.
Homo
Phobia.
Then another word
Homo
Sexual
And another
Homo
Zygous (I'm a chemistry man so shut up if I slept this wrong.)
Those words all have the root Homo in them. Let's look at the last two.
Homozygous means that you have two of the same genes. For example, Blonde Hair and Blonde Hair.
Homosexual means attraction to the same sex.
Homo. It means same.
Phobia. It means the fear of or aversion to.
Homophobia. The fear of or aversion to same.
See what a lack of understanding on Greek and Latin roots can do?

1 ReplyActually whenever the word homophobia comes up in any conversation, it's usually means exactly what it's definition is. You're probably just interpreting people wrong in conversation. It literally means fear of man. Hence straight guys avoiding gay guys like the plague. If you think of it in some other way, that's more than likely your own fault, isn't it? By the way, I'm straight, and I have some pretty cool gay friends. On the rare occasion, I've had to stop an advance and be like no man, not ever happening, but otherwise they pretty much act like dudes, no reason to treat them like they're cancer
