→Homophobia as an "Irrational Fear"
The use of the term "homophobic" has been increasingly seen as a psychological tactic, being attributed to both those who conscientiously oppose the practice of homosexuality, or even fail to support it when called upon. Erik Holland, author of "The Nature of Homosexuality," perceives that homosexuals have become so reckless in labeling others homophobic that "anyone who questions their labeling someone a homophobe himself. Even quoting factual statistics about the connection between homosexuality and AIDS is allegedly homophobic." In addition, according to pro homosexual author Vernon A Wall, "even acceptance of homosexuality can be seen as a form of homophobia, because to talk about the acceptance of homosexuality is to imply that there is something about homosexuality that needs acceptance."<ref>http://www.homosexinfo.org/Homophobia/HomePage</ref>

It may be speculated that if the liberal use of the term is not primarily a psychological tactic, then it indicates a psychological condition, in which those who typically use it actually feel those who oppose them are fearful of them, or are secretly are attracted to them.
