Is homophobia truly a bad thing?

[dq]

I know. But thats what I mean, why do you have a fear of them? What have they done to you and why do you not like them?

In my original post I said I wasn't homophobic. I have no problem with gay people whatsoever, I even have a few gay friends like Tironas11. What I'm saying is I can't fathom thought of myself being gay, the thought of me being with another man makes me feel gross.

God's children are all created equally, that's why some are born disabled, thanks to that lovable papa in the sky.

Homophobic means to have an irrational fear of gay people* society has twisted the meaning of that word.

Some people on this thread have to realise, being homophobic does not mean that you hate homosexuals. It means:

: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals
— ho·mo·pho·bic \-ˈfō-bik\ adjective

Like I said, society has twisted the meaning of that word.

Homo means same.
Phobia means fear.

Homophobia is the fear of homosexuality.

You are correct there. Different dictionaries have different interpretations of the word. The dictionary I have lying around at home said that. English is the most complicated language for a reason you know

That is not true, most of the eastern Asian languages such as Japanese and/or manderin are the most complicated

"Holy crap I hate those gay people, they're so disgusting!"
One hour later.
"Oh yeah, gonna unzip my pants and watch some hot lesbian stuff, because that's cool and I find that completely fine and hot."
If you're this type of person, I have no comment whatsoever other than, hypocrisy.
*sigh*

oh and if you're hating gays and you're only argument is that it's against the bible, f you too.
