::::*(a) This article documents how the term was created with the specific ''intent'' for the perverted meaning you refer to.
::::*(b) You are dealing with the same issue in [[Gay Bowel Syndromebowel syndrome]], i.e. a term the medical community does not recognize yet nonetheless has currency in the lay community for what is popularly beleived to be a medical condition.

Has the footnote for the following paragraph gotten lost somehow?

::::I don't understand. I saw what looked like an excellent paragraph in the article, but there was no footnote in the paragraph, and it obviously needs one. So I asked if the footnote had gotten lost. I didn't make any changes to the Arkansas paragraph. I don't understand how the adjective egregious got into this. I thought I would help by fixing a couple of mechanical/grammatical slips. ([[User:Thunkful|Thunkful]] 00:32, 17 June 2010 (EDT))

== fear of yourself? ==
Wouldn't "homophobia" technically mean fear of yourself? Homosexualphobia would mean an irrational fear of homosexuals, but the word "homo" doesn't only refer to homosexuals. [[User:JohnRoberts|JohnRoberts]] 23:38, 23 November 2011 (EST)
== Intro size ==
Can we perhaps reduce the size of the introduction of this article? If the new additions are to be kept (which I am not opposed to), could they perhaps be split off into one or more subsections? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 14:29, 18 January 2018 (EST)
:I personally think we should temporarily revert the article to how it was before and then re-add the info in a less disruptive and higher-quality way (preferably not in the intro -- I recommend keeping the intro how it was before). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:10, 18 January 2018 (EST)
