Though some who oppose homosexuality may actually be motivated by homophobia, rather than the use of the term indicating a serious belief that most or all of the people opposed to homosexuality are repressed homosexuals, or that such possess an irrational fear of the same sex, or in particular of being approached by a [[homosexual]], the widespread use of the term has been increasingly evidenced as being a means of psychological intimidation and mind control used in promoting the [[Homosexual Agenda]]. Due to what homophobia has come to convey, a powerful stigma is attached to those who even conscientiously oppose the practice of homosexuality, thus silencing many who might otherwise object to it. While not all homosexuals agree with such tactics, it has been promoted by leader in the homosexual movement. In what is widely regarded as the handbook for the “gay agenda," In relation to such oppression, psychologist Nicholas Cummings, former president of the American Psychological Association (APA), observed, "Homophobia as intimidation is one of the most pervasive techniques used to silence anyone who would disagree with the gay activist agenda." As an example of such fear within the APA, in addressing 100 fellow professionals Cummings related that while writing "Destructive Trends in Mental Health," with psychologist Rogers Wright, a number of fellow psychologists were invited to participate. However, these flatly turned them down, as they feared loss of tenure, loss of promotion, and other forms of professional retaliation. "We were bombarded by horror stories," Dr. Cummings said. "Their greatest fear was of the gay lobby, which is very strong in the APA.<ref> Psychology Losing Scientific Credibility, Say APA Insiders [http://www.narth.com/docs/insiders.html]</ref>

In what is widely regarded as the handbook for the “gay” agenda," Harvard trained marketing experts and social scientists Marshall Kirk (1957 - 2005) and Hunter Madsen advocated avoiding portraying gays as aggressive challengers, but as victims, while making those who opposed them as evil persecutors.  As a means of the latter, they promoted “jamming,” in which Christians, traditionalists, or anyone else who opposes the “gay” agenda are publicly smeared.  “In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector ... The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable,” they suggested.

“Jam homo-hatred (i.e., disagreement with homosexual behaviors) by linking it to Nazi horror,” was the strategy of Kirk and Madsen. “Associate all who oppose homosexuality with images of ‘Klansmen demanding that gays be slaughtered,’ ‘hysterical backwoods preachers,’ ‘menacing punks,’ and a ‘tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed.’" Thus, "propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homohating bigots as crude loudmouths..."<ref>http://www.leaderu.com/socialsciences/sellinghomosexuality.html http://www.article8.org/docs/gay_strategies/after_the_ball.htm </ref>

It may be speculated that if the liberal use of the term is not primarily a psychological tactic, then it may indicate a psychological condition on the part of those who use it, in which they imagine that those who oppose them are fearful of them, or are secretly attracted to them. Or that the widespread response to labeling opposition "homophobic" is itself driven by a fear (homophobic-phobic). It is also stated by preeminent pro homosexual psychotherapist, John J. McNeill, that "Interiorized self-hatred is the sin of gay people, and we must learn to see it that way." This has resulted in extreme attempts to negate the Biblical injunctions against homoeroticism and to read it into the Bible, in seeking affirmation for the sin. See [[Homosexual misinterpretation]]

There is also increasing indications that this attempt at brainwashing has been highly effective, as assent such an irrational perception by homosexuals, or to its deceptive tactics, is not confined to those within actual homosexual organizations, as [[mainstream media]] and academic publications often arbitrarily use the term  to describe all those who oppose [[homosexuality]], and its attendant practices. It is now possible for official government statements to relegate all who oppose homosexuality to being homophobic.<ref>Brazilian Government Says 99% of Citizens Are "Homophobic" and Must Be Reeducated http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/feb/09021301.html</ref>
