→A reference that doesn't say what the article says they say: what Herek says
The Herek article says "Weinberg gave a name to the hostility and helped popularize the belief that it constituted a social problem worthy of scholarly analysis and intervention. His term became an important tool for gay and lesbian activists, advocates, and their allies." It does confirm what NARTH said about its first appearance in print, cites May 23, 1969 as the date of publication, and confirms that in that publication Nichols and Clarke used homophobia to refer to heterosexuals’ fears that others might think they are homosexual.

:The cite supports exactly as I've said,
:*''With that one word, Weinberg neatly challenged entrenched thinking about the “problem” of homosexuality.''
:The word was invented to make "antigay" attitides (as Herek describes) "abnormal", exactly at the time the mental disease of homosexuality was declared "normal". [[User:RobS|RobS]] 21:45, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
