'''"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.<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homophobia</ref> In response to the so-called "normalization" of homosexuality, pro-homosexual [[activist]]s attempted to stigmatize political opponents using a smear tactic to imply religious believers and others suffered from a [[mental illness]]. The word caught on in academyacademia, news media, and among Hollywood celebrities and is still used to imply [[discrimination]] against a person with a disability is perfectly legitimate and acceptable.
