"Homophobia" is a widely used term of dubious meaning. It is a coinage modeled on terms such as "claustrophobia" and "hydrophobia" but unlike those terms "homophobia" has no basis in clinical psychology.^[1] Although the intended meaning is "the Junmyeon was usually a patient man. Pragmatic and understanding. But now he was just hurt. It has been three weeks since he last saw Sehun. His funny and sassy Boyfriend? Lover? He didn’t even know. He could remember the exact moment where everything just fucked up. They had spent an awesome night. Dining with Chanyeol and his new boytoy Jongin has been surprisingly fun. Sehun had been a sassy little shit like always. It was turning Junmyeon on so badly. He knew now. He didn’t like his stupid friend, Chanyeol, who was denying his feelings all the way down. He knew that he loved? Sehun as much as he can love someone. He wasn’t supposed to get attached. He asked himself more than once where he messed up and literally fall in love with the younger boy. He didn’t know, it was just an evidence now. They had spent such a lovely night that Junmyeon confessed to Sehun. Maybe it has been too early. He wasn’t really experienced in confession and lovey dovey shit. It has been a challenge. He really thought that Sehun would do the same but he didn’t.

He just left without a word. Junmyeon didn’t do anything to make him stay. He just stayed still, without a word. He couldn’t even think straight. What the fuck just happened? Had he just been rejected? Well, apparently. But that wasn’t the worst.

He has wanted to apologise to Sehun during a week or so. He called him every day. Leaving a vocal message, giving him rendez vous. They had to talk face to face. He excused so many times. And that is true. Junmyeon was sorry, sorry for having made things awkward like that. Sorry because it was obviously the worst timing ever. But Sehun never answer. Even Chanyeol didn’t know a thing. Even so Jongin was Sehun’s best friend it was like he didn’t say anything to anyone. That is where Suho started to get really sad. He wasn’t expecting such a reaction. From Sehun, who was being a coward or from himself, who had been getting attached so easily. The next two weeks had been the worst. Junmyeon didn’t want to do anything anymore. Working? He was already rich, that was just a pain in the ass. Going out with Chanyeol and Jongin? If it was to just be a witness of their intense happiness Junmyeon preferred to stay at home. Making out and returning home with pretty boys to fuck them until the sun down? He didn’t feel like it.

It has been torture. It had been the fourth week where Junmyeon started to feel anger. He was furious. Furious about the fact that for the first time of his life he had been honest with someone he loved and that they rejected him. Furious about himself for being such a miserable human being. Furious against Sehun, who played with his feelings, who was being once again a bratty little shit.

Junmyeon stopped going out. It has been days, he was just roaming around his apartment like a zombie. He was sitting on his couch with a glass of wine in his right hand the entire bottle on the left. His black shirt was almost completely unbuttoned because even if he was a zombie he was still an aesthetically pleasing one. His black and silky locks were a mess sticking to his forehead. He knew he was drunk. The name of the bottle was now a mess of letters. He was pretty sure he could speak french an hour ago. He was almost asleep when someone ringed. He gets up, grumpy, the bottle still in his hands. He was for sure not ready to see Sehun at his door.

« What? Jun? What.. -What the fuck are you doing here? -Jongin… He told me to come to discuss here. You are not with Chan, on his trip? You weren’t supposed to be there… -What the…. I wasn’t supposed to be there… This is still my fucking house! -I am gonna leave.. -Oh the hell no you are not! Come the hell inside! »

Junmyeon was furious. It must have reflected on his face because Sehun do just as he said. It was probably the first time Sehun obey him like that. He hoped it would keep going.

« Where the hell were you? It’s been a fucking month. I called you so many fucking times! I’ve been waiting for you to answer »

Sehun said nothing. He was perfect, almost exactly like Junmyeon remembered. His silky platinum blond hair was styled in a way that some stroke of hair was falling on his forehead. He wasn’t wearing his black fitting suit, but a big coat with a fluffy hood. He looked tired and had he lose weight?

« I can accept a fucking ton of things. I’ve been such a patient person with you… You know that normally I don’t do patience, not with my boyfriends. »

Sehun was just looking at Junmyeon. His face was blank, but it was sehun, and except a cocky grin it was the only expression Junmyeon has ever seen from him. Junmyeon was now walking toward the young man. He wasn’t sad anymore, he was just furious. « You don’t know what you've done to me, ohhhh Sehun why did you come, you just made things even more complicated… » Sehun gulped. But before losing his composure, he turned around and started walking toward the living room.

« What! Running away from me again! » Junmyeon enter the living room, seeing Sehun standing still in the middle of the room. He was staring at the mess. Ah yeah the mess. « What have you done… » Junmyeon raised his brow. « None of your business. Tell me why you leave and get the hell out of here. » Wait Junmyeon said he was a patient person? Pragmatic and stuff? No, he wasn’t. Even at work he was a bitch, the only thing saving him was that he was the best at his job. In his personal life, it was the same. A lot of people worshipping his money and not a lot of friends. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo were what could be considered hise fiends. His love life had always been a mess. He never fell in love before. Before. Because now the man he was in love with was in his living room after three weeks of silence and Junmyeon was angry.

« Stop fucking playing Jun… What the hell have you been doing… »

Junmyeon didn’t even hesitated.

« I’ve been waiting for you.»

It sounded way less pathetic in his head. But he discovered a new part of the spectrum that is Oh Sehun emotions. He was surprised and a bit sad, and was it blush on his cheeks… Junmyeon couldn’t take it anymore. He came closer to Sehun. He was way taller than Junmyeon but it had never bothered the older man. He always thought it was pretty sexy.

« Look what you’ve done. »

His voice was soft, almost sad, and Sehun seemed to soften a little.

« I am not playing anymore… »

Sehun gulped again. What the fuck happened to Junmyeon. He was lowkey scarring him right now. « If only you had a bit of esteem for me… A fucking call, even a text, just to tell me that everything was over. But no. You just said nothing. »

Sehun understood. But he needed this time alone. He didn’t want to end their relationship before he had had time to think about it. Saying that Junmyeon’s confession had surprised him would be an understatement. He needed to leave. But he knew that he had done every thing wrong. But now he knew. His feelings, he was ready. He wanted to talk to Jongin about that and find a way to talk to Junmyeon after that. He wasn’t ready to see Junmyeon. The shock had been so strong. Junmyeon… Sehun couldn’t explain what he was doing to make him feel this way. When his look crossed the one of the shortest man, he had lost it. Junmyeon was a mess, a mess with angry and dark eyes, rock hard abs peeking through his unbuttoned dress shirt, red lips that were asking to be kissed. But he was also thinner than a month ago, his eyes were tired, he was visibly drunk… Sehun wasn't sure he could handle it.

« I needed time… -And you know what I needed… A GODDAMN ANSWER!WAS THAT TOO MUCH! »

Sehun was taken aback when he felt a strong hold on his wrist. Junmyeon dragged him further into the apartment and Sehun knew where he was heading. To the bedroom. Sehun took a deep breath. When they enter the bedroom Sehun was shook. The bedroom was intact, everything was clean, neat. Have he sleep there ? Or did he sleep elsewhere?…

« Jun listen to me… -No »

Sehun felt himself fall on the bed. What the fuck.

« Take off your coat. »

Junmyeon was agitated. Sehun did as he said.

« I didn’t come into this room for weeks. »

So he didn’t sleep… Junmyeon turned around.

« You have no idea of what you are doing to me. »

Junmyeon leaned on Sehun. His hot breath tickling him, sending shivers in his entire body.

« Baby boy you have no idea of what I am going to do to you… »

Sehun was tense.

« Come on Jun, I am not here to play… -I am not playing. »

Sehun knew what liked Junmyeon in bed. He wasn’t like Jongin. The entire daddy kink wasn’t his stuff. He wasn’t an obedient baby.

« What the fuck is wrong with you.. -Always such a disobedient brat. Baby boy. You don’t understand what is gonna happen. »

Sehun shivered at his words.

« I know you are pissed, but we need to talk… Stop being all daddy and shit with me… »

Sehun knew he’d gone to far.

« Who do you think you are hmm? Leaving me like this. Without a fucking news for weeks… You think I am pissed, oh Baby boy you have no idea. Daddy is gonna punish you so badly. Your ass is gonna remember this for week. »

Sehun felt Junmyeon lips. He was so hungry. He was so aggressive. He was biting his lips, pushing his tongue so violently into his mouth.

« Jun stop! »

Junmyeon laughed.

« Jun? Hmm? Who do you think you are? I am not Jun or Junmyeon to you. I am not sure if you deserve to call my name. »

Junmyeon licked his lips, Sehun watching as he was slowly falling apart.

« Don’t touch me, Junmyeon. » Sehun looked surprised, eyes wide. Junmyeon had never been like this.

Junmyeon moved closer, pushing him against the mattress and placing his hands on either side of the taller boy’s torso.

“Isn’t that exactly what you want though, baby? You want my hands on your body, don’t you? My tongue on your neck, my cock…” Junmyeon chuckled,

“Jun, please…”

Junmyeon mouth quickly connected with Sehun’s again, bodies moving against each other in perfect rhythm. Sehun hands tugged at the older boy’s hair in defiance while Junmyeon tongue fought for dominance in the heat of the kiss.

Junmyeon's hands found Sehun’s hips, holding him against his growing cock.

“I could feel you are missing me, baby… Feel you are missing my taste, my touch,” Junmyeon mumbled.

Sehun's let out a soft whimper of despair. He wanted to fight. To resist. He knew it was too late.

He tugged at the older boy’s shirt, cueing him to take it off. The gunman was one of the most beautiful people inthe world. And Sehun was best friend with Kim Jongin. But Jun had this thing. In addition, of his killer body. A thing that melted every barrier Sehun had always kept up. Junmyeon finally throw away his shirt, pressing his body even closer. Sehun was suffocating. It was too much. He was gonna die. Junmyeon almost ripped off Sehun’s shirt. He was staring at him with so much passion.

« Well baby boy… You’ve hidden yourself from me. »

He started to trace the curve of his torso with the tip of his finger.

« What a beautiful baby. Taking care of yourself so much hmm. Such a firm chest. And that slim waist. I have the prettiest baby in the world right? Making all the other daddy so jealous…

- Stop…“ Sehun mumbled.

It was so wrong. So unlike him. Why? What Junmyeon was doing to him? Junmyeon's face lit up with excitement.

"Oh, baby.. Someone’s been naughty.. Liking the praise isn't you?” Junmyeon finished removing Sehun’s jeans and threw them aside, focused on the black boxer in front of him. “Mhm…”

Junmyeon ruffled the fabric between his fingers and moved up to kiss Sehun, brushing his lips against the tanned abdomen on his way up.

“What a hungry baby…”

He kissed at the submissive boy’s jaw, making sure to leave his mark where anyone could see it. He wanted everyone to know that Sehun was his, all his. His to kiss, to touch, to love, to fuck… Lost in thought and motion, Junmyeon hadn’t noticed that Sehun was whimpering and desperately trying to touch him. Junmyeon pulled away. He smirked, kneeling down in front of Sehun’s legs. Sehunlet go a cry of surprise. He was now facing the Junmyeon ruffled the fabric between his fingers and moved up to kiss Sehun, brushing his lips against the tanned abdomen on his way up.

“What a hungry baby…”

He kissed at the submissive boy’s jaw, making sure to leave his mark where anyone could see it. He wanted everyone to know that Sehun was his, all his. His to kiss, to touch, to love, to fuck…

Lost in thought and motion, Junmyeon hadn’t noticed that Sehun was whimpering and desperately trying to touch him. Junmyeon pulled away. He smirked, kneeling down in front of Sehun’s legs. Sehunlet go a cry of surprise. He was now facing the mattress, his face buried into the pillow. Junmyeon was staring at him. Sehun could feel it. His gaze was so intense it was piercing his skin. « Sehun… » Junmyeon sounded shocked. Sehun lifted his head a bit to see Junmyeon face.

« Baby boy. You have a butt to die for. »

Sehun couldn’t be more embarassed.

« I can’t wait to be buried inside you. Oh my god »

The gentle caresses soon turned to rough little scratches. The underwear didn’t last long. Soon Junmyeon mouth was on him again.

« You have no idea Baby what it has been. During all those weeks. All alone. I tried to forget you hmm. I tried to fuck other boys, but.. They weren’t you »

Sehun's heart swelled in pain. Junmyeon just continue to explore his body.

“Those hickeys won’t last forever, sweetheart… But I’m just making sure I leave my mark,” Junmyeon replied calmly and slowly.

“Oh my god, Jun…Please…” Sehun’s hips were moving desperately, his cock aching for the slightest touch. Junmyeon’s eye’s lit up. He quickly moved up to the other boy’s face and whispered, “Say it again, baby.”

“F-fuck…Please!” Junmyeon’s strong arms pulled Sehun closer to him by the hips, leaving his ass up in the air.

Junmyeon quickly removed his own jeans and boxers and moaned as he looked up to see the delicious-looking boy in front of him. He hastily slicked his fingers with lube, then leaned down and spit some onto the tight ring of muscle in front of him. His fingertips gently swirled around, making the boy cried.

« Jun! Oh my god please ! Just give it to me ! Can't ! »

Junmyeon obliged without any hesitation, pushing his middle finger inside the younger boy and pumping it teasingly. His gaze remained on the submissive boy laid out in front of him, a desperate look on his face.Not satisfied, Junmyeon added another finger in a search for Sehun’s moans. As he curled his fingers, his wish was granted. Sehun’s eyes widened, a moan escaping hip swollen lips.

“Good boy… Let Daddy hear you, sweetie…”

“Yo-you, Daddy! Give me your…”

Junmyeon smirked. “You’re just so needy, aren’t you, baby?” Sehun nodded in agreement, his mind floating as the shorter man’s fingers pumped faster and faster.

His cock began to twitch and Junmyeon pulled away, not wanting him to cum yet. “Jun!!” Sehun whined breathlessly, sweat across his chest and stomach. Junmyeon just chuckled, but he did as he was told. He couldn’t restrain himself and let out a soft groan as he pushed his member inside of Sehun. Sehun push his ass higher, resting his face deeper into the pillow, moaning with relief and pleasure. “Oh, Daddy.. So big…" Sehun mumbled.

Junmyeon moaned at that. Sehun was there. He was there. He wasn't gone anymore. His thought was interrupted by the tightening around his cock, Sehun clenching his muscles around the thick length inside him. "Sehun, baby boy…” He moaned. His hips found a rhythm, rough and high tempo with sloppy groans in between. Shuns eyes were as wide as can be, his fingers intertwined with the sheets, mouth wide and breathing rough.

were puffy and swollen from all the biting and tears began to well in the corners of his eyes, the pleasure rocking through him like tidal waves. He let go a high pitch moan when his daddy suddenly turned him around. He was now facing Junmyeon. That was so much better. Junmyeon was glorious. All sweaty and tensed and he looked like he was having pleasure. Because of him. Sehun was making Junmyeon felt good.

Junmyeon's hands wrapped around the boy’s cock, flicking the pre-cum over the tip with his thumb. Now the tears were really feeling, his grip tightening on the sheets. “Daddy.. harder, please! Make me sorry, Daddy!” Sehun moaned out. “Oh, baby boy..” Junmyeon's hips moved faster, his hand following the new pace…

 “Yours… All yours Daddy, always yours…” he started to actually cry now, sniffing and moaning as he went.
 “My little baby… My naughty fucking baby… Always so cocky. Always being disobedient. Never listening to me.”

Sehun bucked his hips against Junmyeon’s touch,

moaning out eagerly.

“Gonna cum, Daddy… Gonna cum on your hand, Daddy…Please… I need to so so so bad.”

« No before he cum, babyboy need to hear something from his daddy. »

Sehun moaned deeply.

« Sehun… »

He was calling his name.

« Oh my god Sehun. »

Oh my god. Why…

« I love you Sehun. I love you so much. I’ve been waiting for it. You. I love you! » Shan threw his head in ecstasy. Love me please love me. He came all over Junmyeon’s hand and his own abdomen as reached his highest. Junmyeon didn’t let up, though, continuing to pump the boy’s sensitive cock as he desperately searched for the release he so desperately needed. But seeing his baby like that. So fucked up. A mess. He was so pretty. So perfect. “Daddy… Please, i-it hurts… it’s too sensitive..” Sehun whined. Junmyeon's eyes rolled back and his head followed, tightening his hand on the messy boy before him. He let out a loud groan as he felt himself cum, a train of mumbled profanities following.

“Oh my fucking god, yes! Oh yes, Sehun… Baby boy… Shit! You’re so fucking tight…”

Junmyeon didn’t know how to explain what just happened. He just fucked Sehun. He has been dreaming of it since he met the boy. And it had happened. And it has been glorious. He knew that they should talk. They should discuss their relationship. But now Sehun was lying on his bed. Snuggling into his chest. Breathing slowly, almost asleep. And Junmyeon had not been this happy in a while. This can wait for tomorrow.

report this adfear of homosexuals," the fake term does not even carry this meaning.

Etymology and definition

The word homophobia comes from combining the Greek prefix homo-, meaning "same", and suffix -phobia, meaning "fear of". In its early usage, the term described heterosexual fears that others might think they were homosexual ^[2] The neologism was promoted by George Weinberg, a homosexual activist and psychologist, who attempted to define it in clinical literature shortly before the downgrading of homosexuality as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association in 1973. Weinberg claimed it was "the dread of being in close quarters with homosexuals -- and in the case of homosexuals themselves, selfloathing."^[3] The term then entered common usage beginning with pornographic publications.^[4]

A study by University of Arkansas researchers concluded that the word homophobia, is technically incorrect. Doctoral student Bunmi Olatunji, lead author of the study stated that homophobia is not actually a fear, and therefore it should not be "pathologized," or treated as a disease would be treated. The 138 participants in the 2001-2002 study, whose gender preferences were unknown to the researchers, were asked to complete a series of questionnaires and surveys. While some subjects displayed conservative sexual attitudes of elevated levels of disgust and dread of contamination toward homosexuals, the results showed a negative correlation between attitudes about homosexuals and measures of fear or anxiety.

The term's meaning has not been accepted or agreed upon within the psychological therapeutic community. William O'Donohue and Christine E. Caselles ^[5] have concluded based upon research within the therapeutic community a clear understanding of the term has not been adequately evaluated and it is not clear whether the term can be accurately characterized. They have concluded, "the construct of homophobia, as it is usually used, makes an illegitimately pejorative evaluation of certain open and debatable value positions, much like the former disease construct of homosexuality."

Gregory M. Herek, a psychology professor at the University of California at Davis, and a recognized authority on prejudice against lesbians and homosexual men, credits psychologist George Weinberg with inventing the word homophobia in the late 1960s. However, the word "has a number of problems with it," said Herek, particularly because there is no basis for the "phobia" suffix in a clinical sense.

Connie Ress, a regional media manage at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation stated that she had no intention of dropping the use of the word due to semantical controversy, as she claimed discrimination against homosexuals and the need for laws to protect them was the real issue.^[6] At a minimum, its continued use stigmatizes people with disabilities.

Application

The term homophobia is primarily used by LGBT campaigners and their supporters, to disparage persons who in any way oppose homosexuality and its practices. Some claim that "it is intended to sound like a form of mental illness", but this does not describe its popular use or the definition of the word. According to the National Association for Research & Therapy on Homosexuality (NARTH), homosexual-rights advocate Gregory M. Herek, Ph.D. wrote that the term "homophobia" was useful in pushing forward the homosexual agenda in our culture.^[7] "In his paper on homophobia, stigma, and sexual prejudice, Dr. Herek suggests that although the term "homophobia" was useful in pushing forward the gay agenda in our culture, the term may be too limited in its scope today."

For example, NARTH says,

The term "homophobia" is often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds. Technically, however, the terms actually denotes a person who has a phobia—or irrational fear—of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled "homophobia." ^[8]

The more recent, restrictively pejorative use of the term "homophobia" reflects upon the intents of the homosexual community to skew perceptions of them (versus their detractors) by manipulating the language used to describe them.

It was recently announced that the Associated Press has dropped the term "homophobia" from its Style Book and will no longer use that term in its news reports, noting that the use of the suffix "-phobia" (referring to an "irrational or uncontrollable fear") should not be used in political or social contexts in AP reports, including "homophobia" (and its derivative "homophobe").^[9]

Claims of Internalized homophobia

The therapeutic community is largely divided between proponents of "gay gene" theory who believe a person is born a homosexual and will always be a homosexual, and proponents of Reparative therapy who believe with sympathy and understanding a homosexual can be relieved of afflictions if they so desire. Gay gene advocates wish to inform homosexuals that their sexual orientation may be based in genetics, whereas restoration therapy advocates claim that it is to cruel to "brainwash" young people into believing there is no hope of ever leading a "heterosexual lifestyle".

Dr. Joseph Nicolosi reports homosexuality is a symptom of an underlying problem of gender identity. Nicolosi says,

In the classic triadic family we have a sensitive boy who did not get the close, affirming relationship with his father that would have confirmed him in his gender identity, and a mother who is likely to be over-close and standing in the way between father and son. The father was not supportive enough in affirming, recognizing and reinforcing the boy's maleness.^[10]

Nicolosi adds many homosexual men admit that no matter how liberated they are, they always struggle, on some deeper level, with a sense of inferiority or self-loathing. Some therapists refer to this as internalized homophobia. Nicolosi attributes this feeling to an internal process, unrelated to social stigma, which precedes same-sex attractions.^[10]

Homophobia as an over-used term

The suffix "phobia" suggests an irrational fear,^[11] but it is most often used as an attack term by homosexual "rights" groups to suggest that opposition to homosexuality is "irrational" and "hateful".^[12] Dr. Sander J. Breiner of NARTH has stated, "it would be very valuable for society in general, and therapists in particular, to have a clear picture of homophobia separated from all the other topics that have been lumped under that rubric." ^[13] Of the myriads of references to the term in popular and other sociologic publications Breiner observes, "There is no personal, internal, institutional, or cultural homophobia. The terms do not exist in the recognized scientific literature...There is only one homophobia, which has been properly defined," in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) ^[14] developed by the American Psychiatric Association. Breiner, an advocate of Reparative therapy, claims "There is no doubt that homophobia exists" as an irrational fear among both homosexuals and heterosexuals. In response, many Christians look to Bible verses such as, 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.^[15]

Noted homosexual activist and pornographer Clinton Fein, in his article, “The Gay Agenda” stated, “Homophobic inclinations alone, even without any actions, should be criminal and punishable to the full extent of the law.”

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 is called 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."^[16]

Term homophobia used as a political tactic

The term "homophobia" is sometimes associated with a theory that anybody who is hetero-normative, or disapproves of homosexual behaviors of any kind, or finds homosexuality distasteful, is secretly homosexual. This "repressed gay" theory has no scientific basis whatsoever. It is merely a means of psychological intimidation and mind control used in promoting the homosexual agenda. By this means a powerful stigma is attached to those who even conscientiously oppose homosexual practices, thus silencing many who might otherwise object to it. 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." In addressing 100 fellow professionals, Cummings related that while writing "Destructive Trends in Mental Health" with psychologist Rogers Wright, a number of fellow psychologists who were invited to participate flatly turned them down, fearing 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."^[17]

While not all homosexuals agree with such tactics, it has been explicitly promoted by leaders in the LGBT movement. In what is widely regarded as the handbook for the homosexual agenda, Harvard trained marketing experts and social scientists Marshall Kirk (1957 - 2005) and Hunter Madsen advocated avoiding portraying homosexuals 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 homosexual 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.'" (In fact, they never were – see Homocaust myth). Thus, "propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homohating bigots as crude loudmouths..." ^[18]

What is seen by some as Kirk and Madsen’s most revealing admission is their statement, “[O]ur effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof.” "...the person's beliefs can be altered whether he is conscious of the attack or not"^[19]

Marshall Kirk died in 2005 at the age of 48. The cause of death has not been publicly revealed but is suspected to have been HIV-related.

Author Robert Bauman additionally records, "It makes no difference that the ads are lies . . . because we’re using them to ethically good effect, to counter negative stereotypes that are every bit as much lies, and far more wicked ones." ^[20]

There are increasing indications that pro-homosexual attempts at brainwashing have been highly effective, as assent to such an irrational perception by homosexuals, or assent 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. Recently, the government of Brazil relegated all who oppose homosexuality to being "homophobic".^[21]

In an article titled, "First Things" (Aug/Sept. 1993), Professor Jerry Z. Muller described how the homosexual lobby has gained widespread acceptance in the educational realm.

[Their] strategy has been remarkably successful. With a rapidity largely attributable in large part to a total lack of articulate resistance, homosexual ideology has gained an unquestioned and uncontested legitimacy in American academic life. Within the academy, as within nonacademic elite culture, the definition of opposite to homosexuality as "homophobia - a definition which implies that it is impossible to give good reasons for the cultural disapproval of homosexuality - is the best evidence of the success of this strategy.^[22]

The American College of Pediatricians, commenting on one prototypical pro-homosexual bias which indicts contrary views as "homophobic", stated that such a response is "scientifically improper and demonstrates an anti-heterosexual viewpoint."^[23]

This has also 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

Fear of homophobia as a psychological condition

It may be speculated that the widespread response to labeling all who oppose homosexuals "homophobic" may itself be driven by an irrational fear of those who oppose them, in which homosexuals imagine that most or all of those who oppose them are motivated by irrational fears, and wish to do them harm, and from which type of people they must be especially protected. "Homophobia" has also been stated to be the real cause of AIDS^[24] Such fears may explain the perception that "the nuclear family is a microcosm of the fascist state...",^[25] and similar attacks on heteronormativity. It has also been claimed 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."

In 1990, Congress passed the Hate Crime Statistics Act, which required the Attorney General to collect data about crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin. In 1994, lawmakers amended the Hate Crime Statistics Act to include bias against persons with disabilities.^[26]

In 2005, law enforcement agencies reported 1,171 hate crime offenses based on sexual-orientation bias, 348 of which are property crimes which includes theft and graffiti.^[27] While the FBI reports statistics by victim class or bias motivation, race, religion, sexual orientation and disability, the FBI does not report the sexual orientation of known offenders. Thus a conclusion that all offenders are heterosexual is faulty, and the methodology does not measure violence within the homosexual community. In all of 2004, there was one anti-homosexual murder in the United States, and the FBI has reported none since.^[28] Of greater concern among many is the higher risk and more frequent incidence of domestic abuse in same-sex partnerships than among the heterosexual population.^[29]

While 818 bias-motivated crimes of persons against homosexuals were reported nationwide in 2004, an earlier study found 5046 incidences of homosexual domestic violence in only nine cities, all of which are crimes of persons. The subject of homosexual domestic violence has not been researched with anything near the thoroughness afforded to heterosexual domestic violence. However the uniformity of conclusions based upon varying sample sizes point to a prevalence ranging from 20%-35% of homosexual domestic partnerships,^[30] with a study by the Canadian government showing gay domestic abuse as high as 82%.

Resistance to the term

Commenting on its psychological use, WorldNetDaily managing editor David Kupelian states,

This is how the "marketers of evil" work on all of us. They transform our attitudes by making us feel as though our "super uncomfortable" feelings toward embracing unnatural or corrupt behavior of whatever sort – a discomfort literally put into us by a loving God, for our protection – somehow represent ignorance or bigotry or weakness.^[31]

Conclusions

In effect, "homophobia" is a bogus term invented to suppress and eradicate all resistance to the normalization of homosexual behavior under any circumstances, or criticism of LGBT ideology, activism and the LGBT agenda. It is being applied to an ever-wider range of things, such as resistance to increased political and social power of homosexuals in advancing their agenda. The term is used regularly by activists to describe several kinds of people, which may or may not match the actual definition of "fear of homosexuals and homosexuality". The recipients of the "homophobia" label include those who feel uncomfortable around homosexuals, those who reveal that they disagree with LGBT ideas and even those who may privately tolerate homosexuality but who fail to publicly support homosexuals when called upon to do so.^[32]

Term of Insult or Manipulation

The word "homophobia", which is widely used as an insult, is an ideological tool of left-wing "political correctness" and effectively enforces censorship by smearing all dissenters from LGBT ideology with accusations of mental illness - "phobia". It goes hand in hand with the ploy of replacing moral terminology with accusations of "hatred".

The current usage of terms like "homophobic" and "homophobe" imply that all opposition to the LGBT agenda is crazy. Actually, there are many rational reasons that logically-thinking people remain hetero-normative, and unconvinced by LGBT ideology.

The term is closely linked with the slang expression "gay-bashing" and the two words are often used interchangeably as synonyms, strongly implying that anybody who will not capitulate to the LGBT ideology and accept all their arguments, is guilty of violent physical attacks on persons practicing homosexuality. By this casual association, hetero-normativity is denigrated and criminalized, while all logical debate is censored and silenced.

The term "homophobia" is increasingly applied to all hetero-normative discourse or moral criticism of homosexual behavior, implying that any such viewpoint is "irrational" (see phobia). Furthermore, the term has been adopted in law as an equivalent term to "racism" and is now being used to criminalize hetero-normativity as well as classifying it as a mental disorder.

Homophobia and AIDS

The term "homophobia" gained currency during the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, when embattled LGBT campaigners were faced with the disaster of their own making. Unwilling to admit that the lethal disease was the result of their own behavior, they insisted that homosexuals were dying because of the ignorance and prejudice of heterosexuals, who were guilty of "homophobia". This argument gained traction in the mainstream media, where homosexuals and activists have a disproportionate influence.

Distorted worldview

The term "homophobia" is closely linked to efforts of LGBT activists to publicize and exaggerate any acts of aggression towards any homosexual by heterosexuals worldwide, past or present, which all come under the category of "homophobia". This is a distorted picture meant to draw attention away from the unwelcome facts that most violence against homosexuals is carried out by other homosexuals, and that by spreading the AIDS pandemic they are killing each other as well as causing a grave problem for the population at large.

To support their claims of "homophobia", homosexuals and activists frequently invent attacks, and make false reports about violence against homosexuals, past and present. Here is just one, incomplete, list of such hoaxes that have been exposed. More such examples can be found using internet search ^[33]

The LGBT myth of the "Homocaust" i.e. mass extermination of homosexuals under the Nazi regime in Germany, is an example of fake history invented to support the fake ideology of "homophobia". See Homocaust myth.

Extension to create transphobia

The term "homophobia" is twinned with the coinage "transphobia" used to mean any doubt about, resistance to or criticism of gender confusion ideology. The second term functions in the same way, smearing with accusations of mental illness, closing down scientific or rational debate, and when enshrined in law, criminalizing resistance to a fake ideology. The belief in "transphobia" is backed up by unconvincing evidence. It has been claimed that in 2016, a total of 23 gender-confused people were killed in the USA. However, even if we accept the figures at face value and accept that the motivation in every case was prejudice, this statistic is merely in line with the percentage of gender-confused people in the general population. It does not indicate any higher likelihood of being murdered.^[34]

Christian view

People who use the term "homophobia" are implying that it is impossible to "hate the sin and love the sinner", which is the duty of Christians. To refuse to applaud deplorable behavior or even to remain neutral is crudely labeled as "hatred". No one talks about opposition to alcoholism in terms of hatred, because groups like Alcoholics Anonymous have popularized the view that drinking alcohol is addictive.

Conservative Christians and other people who regard homosexuality as sinful, harmful or abnormal, have coined the term heterophobia to describe those who manifest an antipathy to those who uphold hetero-normativity. While the term phobia is an irrational fear of something, nobody is afraid of homosexuals, and nobody fears contracting homosexuality. That is in contrast to heterophobia, the existence of which has been documented.
