The term homophobia is an offensive and derogatory term that is sometimes used to describe an aversion to homosexuality. The suffix "phobia" suggests an irrational fear, but that is not how the term is used.[1] It is used by gay rights groups to suggest that all opposition to homosexuality is irrational and hateful.[2] The term is often misapplied in a non-scientific, social and political context to further the homosexual agenda.
