:One of the things I'm getting at is that I do not currently think Weinberg used it that way, although it's possible that other gay-rights advocates might have used it that way from the beginning. I think Weinberg really saw it as a phobia in the clinical sense. Of course he was talking about incidents like a woman literally trembling with fear and unable to speak to him because she thought he might be gay.

:(One of the things you didn't mention because it's not important, but I suspect we agree on this: as a coinage it affects me like a fingernail scraping on a chalkboard, because "homo" doesn't, or shouldn't, mean "homosexual." If we're mixing slang and Greek, it could just as well be "queerophobia."). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 21:13, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
