peuedoscientific origins of the term have nothing to do with prejuduce
The term '''"homophobia"''' blurs the distinction between those who oppose homosexuality on principled grounds and those who are merely prejudiced. Attempts to amplify the distinction are frequently opposed, especially by partisans who claim that all opposition to homosexuality stems from prejudice, bias, hatred, or irrational fear.
The term '''"homophobia"''' is a psuedoscientific term originally intended to portray principaled opposition to homosexuality as abnormal. This alleged scientific abnormalcy has been used by gays rights activists to criminalize as a hate crime what by its psuedoscientific definition would be a pschyological handicap or disorder.
The term was invented to impugn and slander opponents of [[homosexuality]].
