“Homophobia” – a word that homosexuals and judges do not understand

By Brian Rushfeldt

Amazingly an intellectually lazy people of Canada ( and many other countries) have been duped. Perhaps because of the laziness or perhaps because of a full out assault by homosexuals and liberal media do people now accept and even use the term homophobe or homophobic.

Phobia is defined and diagnosed as an irrational fear. How many heterosexuals have a fear of homosexuality let alone an irrational one ? Perhaps the activist segment in media and the homosexual community are confused about fear versus differing views – diversity of views. Let me propose that most if not all heterosexuals do not fear homosexuality. They do however oppose that behavior for a variety of reasons. Medical concerns, religious beliefs, common-sense based upon natural law and function and so on. But not fear.

Homo refers to sameness. Hetero refers to other or difference. If one is homo anything it is likely there would be a sense of sameness. So if one were homophobic it would mean they have a fear of sameness. How then would a heterosexual have a phobia or fear of homosexual. That is an illogical conclusion, one that defies any reasonable thinking person with a reasonably logical mind. Homophobia would be fear of sameness, which for a heterosexual would be fear of another heterosexual not of a homosexual.

So perhaps the intellectually lazy should not accept the use of such misleading and most often intentionally deceiving arguments used by homosexual activists in their name calling. Perhaps every person accused of homophobia should challenge the name caller and ask them to defend their logic (or illogic). Perhaps if there is not a logical defense put forth then human rights complaints could be filed as it would seem that the name calling is an intentional attack, a hatred by the one using the intentionally false term.

Perhaps Human Rights Commission bureaucrats themselves need to be educated as to the real meaning of the term homophobic, and even judges in Canada should avail themselves of some intellectual education. They seem to need it.
