I find that homophobic guys often decide to become etymologists over the weird because they want to seem like "macho straight guys" and show that they're not afraid of anything... really pathetic.

But anyway I can't tell if you were joking or not, but if not, let's not try to be an etymologist all of a sudden, please. It's so annoying

Well said x

Are you in fear of being poor? If the answer to that is No, then yes it's an irrational fear.

But now you are changing it back to fear.

Spitfire, I want to spitfire you.

How can anyone dislike something which has ZERO effect on their life whatsoever? homosexuality harms nobody so I wish people would shut up about it and get over it! It shouldn't even be an issue anymore, each to their own.

I'm not changing anything. From what I can see you just seem to hate alot of things for no good reason which imo is a phobia.

Still waiting for you to give a reason as to why a dislike of homosexuals is rational Spitfire

I don't think disliking Homosexuals is rational or irrational. Have i said i dislike them or have i just said change phobia to dislike?

phobia means irrational dislike whether you like or dislike that doesn't change the meaning

So drop the irrational and you are left with dislike-Homodislike.
No joy in finding things that i hate.As you accused me of 'hating a lot of things for no good reason'?

Homophobia is the irrational fear OR hatred of homosexuals. Do you want me to try and change the definition for you?

YES, that is what i've been saying ,it should be changed to Homodislike because in my opinion, it is not an irrational dilike or a hatred,it is just a dislike.Maybe you should read my comments again.

someone being homosexual doesn't define that person

You still haven't explained why you think your dislike is rational though.

Jesus christ, i already said i don't think it is irrational or rational and i've never said it's me.You appear to be swerving the issue.

No, just sticking to the definition. Thanks for quoting me in your sig though, glad you finally realised that Irish people are far more quote worthy than anyone else
