https://twitter.com/MorganFreeman__/status/236840379964596224 No, it's not actually Morgan Freeman, but what do you think about it? Agree or disagree? I completely agree with that statement. (Sorry if this offends anyone) Edited by Master Gohan, Aug 12 2013, 06:05 AM.

Moved to talk about anything, not really enough content for Deep Discussion. It's just a modern use of the suffix, putting phobia on the end of something can basically mean "prejudice" now, xenophobia is the same thing. |

Of course there is such thing as homophobia. Ignorance is not being an a*****. In some cases, certain people can make it that way, but homophobia =/= a*****, in my humble opinion

I don't really think I could agree with that, or at least with that phrasing. It'd be the other way around, in some cases you can just claim ignorance but with all of the uproar over gay rights over the last few years and the endless debate that goes on, you'd have to be living under a rock not to get it (which some people are in a sense, such as the overly religious and such). Prejudice is prejudice and hating/disliking/wanting to deny people rights/whatever it is on a group of people over something out of their control is being an a***** to me. I don't see it as any different than racism. |

No

Phobias are driven by persistent and unreasonable fear of specific situations, objects, or activities. Just thinking about it makes people with phobias fearful. Homophobics don't seem fearful at all to me. |

Yeah I've always hated when people use the word. You don't see people screaming or having panic attacks when someone says they're gay do you? You're an a***** if you go to protests etc and say people aren't allowed to be gay. But I don't see how it makes you an a***** if you're just uncomfortable with them. As long as you don't go out of your way to say someone is disgusting or wrong for being gay you should have the right to feel that way, considering you can't help it if you just plain don't like it. If you were brought up your whole life by a stern father who had everything against people choosing to be gay blah blah blah you shouldn't be labeled an a***** for feeling uncomfortable around gay people, can't just flip a switch and be happy with something you were told virtually every day not to have any part in because it's "wrong" Ignorance on both sides really. |

A small percentage of homophobes are legit scared of gay people tbf. Like they think living next to a gay person will bring down a meteor shower on their house or something. And yeh phobia can just be a hatred of something, not just a fear. I sorta agree with Steve in that if you're just raised that way it doesn't make you an a**hole. Tbh I had to just think about what it means to be an a**hole for a few minutes because I don't use that word, and I'm still not really too sure so I can't involve myself in this discussion.... |

“Making weed illegal is a little bit paranoid, don’t you think? It’s like saying God made a mistake, you know what I mean? It’s like, you’ve got the whole world and Earth and all its holy creations, right? And God is like, Hmm, lookit, my whole world in all its holy ways, and he’s like, Oh-my-me-oh-sh**, I left weed in here. Yeah right, I left weed in here.

Phobia - ''A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.'' Even if people are raised in a way where homosexuality is presented as something to be hated or anything like that, they'd have to be a mindless drone and unbelievably ignorant to not even spend 5 minutes independently looking at homosexuality and see that it's harmless. |

I depends on what aspect of it you don't like though. If you don't like the image of two guys having sex you can't force yourself to find that normal can you? You can accept that it happens and not complain but if you're immediate thought is "that's disgusting" you can't just change that unless you're for some reason determined to expose yourself to it long enough to not be disgusted by it. Which again doesn't really make you an a*****. I don't like it when people have piercings everywhere on their face or even those horn implants, it looks grotesque to me. I'm not saying people can't have those things or trying to ban them they just don't appeal to me. Am I an a*****? You can't help your immediate reaction to something, some people just don't like things that others do. It's just like a smell or taste you don't like, you can pretend you like it all you want but you're only pretending to suit other people. (this is an analogy for anything someone may not like not about everyone pretending to like homosexuality in case anyone takes it that way) |

A lot of people who hate homosexuality are quite vocal about it. In fact, in the US, many are in office. When you participate in denying someone their rights based purely on your personal opinion, you stop being an a**hole and become something even worse. I can confidently say that most people, including myself, don't give a damn what other people think internally regarding this topic. As long as they keep it to themselves, that's fine. The problem is, a lot of people don't |

Not really, it might just never occur to them that they could be wrong, so they don't ever bother doing any research. As far as eliminating hatred goes, 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to read and analyse evidence from both sides of the argument. |

To me it does matter what people think inside if they are in a position of power or ever could be in an empowered position (for example if they'll ever end up in a position where they have a choice to help someone or not. Most people are going to end up in a position like this eventually), because whatever prejudices they hold inside them will affect how they use their power. For example if an employer doesn't like gay people they could keep it to themselves but then choose to not employ people if they find out they're gay, or fire them with little reason, and then cover it up with something else, which would mean they're causing unfair distress to someone, or hindering their progress in life unfairly. |

Yeah now those people are a***** but just not liking homosexuality doesn't make you an a*****. Neither does genuinely having homophobia, like the panic attacks and stuff. Well unless you lived your life hating gays and gained the phobia that way but if it just happened it's not your fault there is a phobia that somewhere somehow a duck is watching you and wants to kill you, they are as defined irrational fears you can't control. Now obviously that's not who people are aiming their statements at when they call someone homophobic, but that is what a phobia is so it's stupid to use that word, make a new word since it's kind of a shame for the people who have the actual phobia. If people can coin words like swag and yolo for use in society why can't they make up a word for an ignorant, hateful view of homosexuals? Gayist, gaytard, there's a couple. Gaytard sounds the most offensive but it doesn't sound aimed at people who hate homosexuals...though used enough it could be rooted as the opposite. Calling someone a homophobe is simply incorrect unless they have that phobia which is fairly rare. |
