Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:50pmusually anything-phobic means a fear, but I think homophobic refers to more of a hatred... but that's just my opinion.
Less is more
Ugly is beautiful

Technically, the word means "fear of the same". Homo is same, phobic is fear of"....
But now it's meant for a person who hates homosexuals.

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

Liam, both sentences are correct, with regard to your use of the word, homophobic. Most things that people hate, they fear; and most fear comes from insecurity about the thing that is feared.

Wow. More lame dictionary cracks at Liam. As if it's something new and different he's never heard before. If that's all people have to say for the millionteenth time, why bother? Obviously, your comments have no effect.
And Liam, in modern context, only the first sentence is correct. In literal context, "homophobia" would be a fear of any two things that are the same, such as an irrational feeling of fear when one person sees two identical white VW Bugs parked next to each other. In many cases, this results in feelings of paranoia and conspiracy.
I thought somebody should answer his question.
