→Homophobia is a fear: new section
:: I'm sorry, I was trying to point out that the definition of "homophobia" was a little bit unfair to gay activists. Moreover, it is not really informative; the term is (more?) often used to describe "fear of being/becoming gay" than fear of actual gays. I'll look it up in a dictionary and write a better definition. --[[User:Eygar|Eygar]] 13:26, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

==Homophobia is a fear==
I am surprised this article defines homophobia as hate. It is not. It is a ''fear'' of homosexuals, their rising poltical power, they're watering down of our collective morality and their intent to dissolute our great institutions of social stability (such as marriage). This is why people are "phobic" of homosexuals. But it is NOT hate. We do not want them destroyed, like Al Qaeda wants us destroyed. We want them to see the righteous path with God and to engage in holy matrimony with a member of the opposite sex, to live fulfilling lives heeding God's decree to go forth and multiply. We want them to find the path of redemption. That is not hate but ''compassion''. Love the sinner, not the sin.
Looking back through the article's history, it seems that early versions of the article did not include the "implied" definition of hate and in fact several sysops (RSchlafly, RobSmith, etc) fought valiantly against the incessant tinkering of AmesG and other liberal vandals to insert a pro-gay tolerance slant to the article's introduction and perhaps elsewhere. I've only skimmed it so far, but it looks pretty entrenched. Incidentally, the "hate" aspect was only added in February and by the "trustworthy" editor named [[User:Kiss20]].
I'm going to try to work this article back to a more accurate definition over the next few gays. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 01:24, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
