the misuse of homophobia in this thread sickens me. Homophobia means the fear of homosexuals. If someone is mocking one, or dislikes them does not equal homophobia. It means they are prejudice against homosexuals. >.< Sorry. I just needed to say that.
From wiki:
Homophobia[/b] is a range of negative
attitudes and feelings towards
homosexuality or people who are identified as or perceived as being
LGBT. Definitions refer variably to
antipathy,
contempt,
prejudice, aversion, and irrational
fear.
[1][2][3] 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."
Yeah, there is no need for comments like that ever.
