:The cite in the article [http://www.narth.com/docs/creates.html] explains how this [[neologism]] came into American English, extracted,
::Professor Gregory M. Herek, Ph.D., published "Beyond 'Homophobia': Thinking About Sexual Prejudice and Stigma in the Twenty-First Century," in the April, 2004, issue of Sexuality Research & Social Policy.
;;...In his paper on homophobia, stigma, and sexual prejudice, Dr. Herek suggests that although the term "homophobia" was useful in pushing forward the gay agenda in our culture, the term may be too limited in its scope today.
::Herek describes in detail how the term homophobia was invented in 1965 by Dr. George Weinberg and later popularized in his writings in the 1970s. According to Herek, Weinberg helped mainstream the idea of homophobia with the help of two gay activists, Jack Nichols and Lige Clarke. They first used the term in the pornography magazine ''Screw'', edited by Al Goldstein.
:I don't see how dictionary definitions, based upon a neologism that came from ''Screw'' magazine, have any authenticity in an encylopedic entry. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 13:47, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
