→Unclear Sentence: Could someone take a look at this?
:(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 <s>fingernail scraping on a chalkboard,</s> dried-out marker squeaking on a whiteboard, 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)

::Weinberg said homophobia was a mental illness that both gays & straights suffered from. Of course now we know, the theraputic community has largely rejected the entire idea that Weinberg proposed back then. Nonetheless, it has ''always'', since it was coined, but used as a political attack term against anyone who opposed the gay agenda. Hence, this is a clear cut case of paseudoscinece being used to create mass deception -- and this is what this articl e needs to arcticulate. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 21:24, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

==Unclear Sentence==
''Neither do the statistics include senior citizens, homeless, military personnel, or battered pregnant women by boyfriends and husbands after becoming pregnent -- all known victim classes of hate crime attacks.'' I haven't waded through the whole talk page here, but I did notice on skimming the article that this sentence needs some work - I think I ''may'' understand what it is trying to say, but it is very unclear and the last part (''battered pregnant women by boyfriends and husbands after becoming pregnent'') definately needs to be cleaned up gramatically and spelling-wise. I'd do it myself but am reluctant to touch it since I'm not sure I understand what it's meant to say.--[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 17:54, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
