'''Homophobia''' is a widely-used term of dubious meaning. It is a coinage modeled on terms such as "claustrophobia" and "hydrophobia" but unlike those terms "homophobia" has no basis in clinical psychology. <ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homophobia</ref>
'''Homophobia''' is a bogus term invented to suppress and eradicate all resistance to the normalization of homosexual behavior under any circumstances, or criticism of [[LGBT]] ideology, activism and the LGBT agenda. Its [[etymology]] is fake, since "Homo" comes from the Greek word for "the same" while "phobia" means an irrational fear classified as a neurosis. So "homo-phobia" would mean "irrational fear of oneself" or "of what is like oneself."

It may be speculated that the widespread response to labeling all who oppose homosexuals homophobic may itself be driven by an irrational fear of those who oppose them, in which homosexuals imagine that most or all of those who oppose them are motivated by irrational fears, and wish to do them harm, and from which type of people they must be especially protected. Homophobia has also been stated to be the real cause of AIDS<ref>"An essay on the origin and nature of homophobia," Scott Bidstrup (prohomosex activist)</ref> Such fears may explain the perception that "the nuclear family is a microcosm of the fascist state...",<ref>Socarides, A Freedom Too Far, 1995</ref> and similar attacks on ''heteronormativity''. It has also been stated by preeminent pro homosexual psychotherapist, John J. McNeill, that "Interiorized self-hatred is the sin of gay people, and we must learn to see it that way."

While 818 bias motivated crimes of persons against gays were reported nationwide in 2004, an earlier study found 5046 incidences of homosexual domestic violence in only nine cities, all of which are crimes of persons. The subject of homosexual domestic violence has not been researched with anything near the thoroughness afforded to heterosexual domestic violence. However the uniformity of conclusions based upon varying sample sizes point to a prevalence ranging from 20%-35% of homosexual domestic partnerships,<ref>[http://ncavp.org/common/document_files/Reports/2001ncavpdvrpt.pdf Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Domestic Violence in 2001,] National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, 2002.</ref> with a study by the Canadian government showing gay domestic abuse as high as 82%.

==Conclusions==
In effect '''Homophobia''' is a bogus term invented to suppress and eradicate all resistance to the normalization of homosexual behavior under any circumstances, or criticism of [[LGBT]] ideology, activism and the LGBT agenda.
It is being applied to an ever-wider range of things, such as resistance to increased political and social power of homosexuals in advancing their [[homosexual agenda|agenda]]. The term is used regularly by activists to describe several kinds of people, which may or may not match the actual definition of "fear of homosexuals and homosexuality". The recipients of the homophobia label include those who feel uncomfortable around homosexuals, those who reveal that they disagree with LGBT ideas and even those who may privately tolerate homosexuality but who fail to publicly support homosexuals when called upon to do so.<ref>pro homosexual author Vernon A Wall</ref>
==Term of Insult or Manipulation==
The word "homophobia", which is widely used as an insult, is an ideological tool of leftwing "political correctness" and effectively enforces censorship by smearing all dissenters from LGBT ideology with accusations of mental illness - "phobia". It goes hand in hand with the ploy of replacing moral terminology with accusations of "hatred".
The current usage of terms like "homophobic" and "homophobe" imply that all opposition to the LGBT agenda is crazy. Actually there are many rational reasons that logically-thinking people remain hetero-normative, and unconvinced by LGBT ideology.
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.
The term homophobia is increasingly applied to all hetero-normative discourse or moral criticism of [[homosexual]] behavior, implying that any such viewpoint 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.
==Homophobia and AIDS==
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.
==Distorted World-View==
The term "homophobia" is closely linked to efforts of LGBT activists to 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.
To support their claims of "homophobia", homosexuals and activists frequently invent attacks, and make false reports about violence against homosexuals, past and present. Here is just one, incomplete, list of such hoaxes that have been exposed. More such examples can be found using internet search <ref> https://gaybullyingitisreal.wordpress.com/2017/01/23/how-homosexuals-fake-hate-crimes/</ref>
The LGBT myth of the "Homocaust" i.e. mass extermination of homosexuals under the Nazi regime in Germany, is an example of fake history invented to support the fake ideology of "homophobia". See [[Homocaust Myth]].
==Extension to Create Transphobia==
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>
==Christian View==
People who use the term "homophobia" are implying that it is impossible to "hate the sin and love the sinner", which is the duty of Christians. To refuse to applaud deplorable behavior or even to remain neutral is crudely labelled as "hatred". 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.
Conservative Christians and other people who regard homosexuality as sinful, harmful or abnormal, have coined the term [[heterophobia]] to describe those who manifest an antipathy to those who uphold hetero-normativity. While the term ''phobia'' is an irrational fear of something, nobody is afraid of homosexuals, and nobody fears contracting homosexuality. That is in contrast to heterophobia, the existence of which has been documented.
