It may be speculated that if the liberal use of the term homophobia is not primarily a psychological tactic, then it indicates 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 of being one.

More recently, after 25 years of claiming she was not indoctrinating anyone with pro homosexual beliefs, one homosexual honestly admitted to this being a lie.  Canadian gay activist S. Bear Bergman,  a female who identifies as a transgender male, stated, "All that time I said I wasn't indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie.” Bergman recounted that she was instructed as a young gay activist  to  tell concerned parents that she was “just providing an alternate viewpoint” when accused of engaging in “indoctrination and recruiting,” and  to use “soft” language when speaking about homosexuality. In her article on the notoriously liberal  web site, the [[Huffington Post]], she went on to candidly confess that it is her this indoctrination is, "is absolutely my goal. I want to make your children like people like me and my family, even if that goes against the way you have interpreted the teachings of your religion." Bergman fantasized that in an ideal world he would be "ushered into the world of queerness with care and tenderness by experienced homos" (akin to "camp counselors") "and issued my leather jacket and my protest pins, my safer sex supplies..."

Bergman expressed his goal was that of portraying to "impressionable young minds" the idea that queers and transfolk are just as fine and lovely a kind of human as any other kind,"  and that she does not like the idea of sending her kid to schools where where any kid could share with him their ideas about homosexuals.  Thus Bergman, who believes that "books a kid hears at bedtime affect their sleep and also their dreams,"  is finalizing a series of children's books that all  feature lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer kids or families, with the goal that the children perceive that people like him and his family are "absolutely great," that  "lesbian, gay, bi, queer, and trans people -- that we exist, that we're perfectly fine and often really excellent."  Bergman then concludes, "If that makes me an indoctrinator, I accept it. Let me be honest -- I am not even a little bit sorry."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Bergman|first1=S.

Commenting on this frank article,  Pete Baklinski of LifeSiteNews.com, states that <blockquote>While Bergman paints a “friendly and cheerful” picture of the gay lifestyle, she fails to mention the serious health risks tied to homosexual behaviors.,...Research done in 2002 by Dr. John R. Diggs found that same-sex sexual behaviors expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to “extreme risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span.” Common sexual practices among gay men were found to lead to “numerous STDs and physical injuries, some of which are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population.” Gay and bisexual men were found to “lose up to 20 years of life expectancy.” The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have warned on numerous occasions that HIV rates, already at epidemic proportions, are continuing to climb steadily among men who have ‘sex’ with men. The CDC has stated that gay and bisexual men continue to remain at the epicenter of what they call a “HIV/AIDS epidemic.”</blockquote>

To which Baklinski adds the spiritual consequences, citing one of the texts in the Bible which condemn homosexual relations:  

{{Cquote|“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error” (Letter to Romans 1:26).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Baklinski|first1=Pete|title=Gay activist: Of course our goal is to ‘indoctrinate children into LGBTQ agenda’|url=https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/gay-activist-our-goal-is-to-indoctrinate-children-into-lgbtq-agenda|website=LifeSiteNews.com|accessdate=22 March 2015}}</ref> }}
