The term is closely linked with the slang expression "gay-bashing" and the two words are often used interchangeably as synonyms, strongly implying that anybody who will not capitulate to the LGBT ideology and accept all their arguments, is guilty of violent physical attacks on persons practising homosexuality. By this casual association, hetero-normativity is denigrated and criminalized, while all logical debate is censored and silenced.

People who use the term "homophobia" are implying (whether they know it or not), that it's impossible to "hate the sin and love the sinner". No one talks about opposition to alcoholism in terms of [[hatred]], because groups like [[Alcoholics Anonymous]] have popularized the view that drinking alcohol is addictive.  

The term '''homophobia''', when it is applied to all hetero-normative discourse or moral criticism of [[homosexual]] behavior, implies that all such criticism is irrational (see [[phobia]]). Furthermore, the term has been adopted in law as an equivalent term to "racism" and is now being used to criminalize hetero-normativity as well as classifying it as a mental disorder.

The term "homophobia" gained currency during the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, when embattled LGBT campaigners were faced with the disaster of their own making. Unwilling to admit that the lethal disease was the result of their own behavior, they insisted that homosexuals were dying because of the ignorance and prejudice of heterosexuals, who were guilty of "homophobia". This argument gained traction in the mainstream media, where homosexuals and activists have a disproportionate influence.

The term "homophobia" is closely linked to efforts of LGBT activists to claim, publicize and exaggerate any acts of aggression towards any homosexual by heterosexuals worldwide, past or present, which all come under the category of "homophobia". This is a distorted picture meant to draw attention away from the unwelcome facts that most violence against homosexuals is carried out by other homosexuals, and that by spreading the AIDS pandemic they are killing each other as well as causing a grave problem for the population at large.

The term "homophobia" is twinned with the coinage "transphobia" used to mean any doubt about, resistance to or criticism of transgender ideology.

The second term functions in the same way, smearing with accusations of mental illness, closing down scientific or rational debate, and when enshrined in law, criminalizing resistance to a fake ideology. The belief in "transphobia" is backed up by unconvincing evidence. It has been claimed that in 2016, a total of 23 transgender people were killed in the USA. However, even if we accept the figures at face value and accept that the motivation in every case was prejudice, this statistic is merely in line with the percentage of transsexuals in the general population. It does not indicate any higher likelihood of being murdered. <ref> https://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-against-the-transgender-community-in-2017</ref>
