:::::Exactly. The problem here is, turning a certifiable mental condition into a politcal attack term may itself be discrimintation against the mentally handicapped. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 15:38, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

::::::The use of the term in itself is not so much a "political attack term" but a method in which to identify a distinct group of people who hold a certain viewpoint. I doubt many self confessed homophobes think of themselves having a clinical problem! People hear the common usage all the time and most people will not be aware of the clinical connotations of the word. Therefore, does it not make sense to portray the common usage on the Homophobia page and put a clear direct to the article describing the clinical condition at the top of the Homophobia page?
::::::On a side note, this all seems a bit pointless considering Ed Poor is apparently about to go to town on this article! [[User:MatteeNeutra|MatteeNeutra]] 15:48, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
