Subject: I dont understand the word homophobia
I think I figured out how to start a thread. Hi folks.
Theres a nother thread I saw last night and someone used homophobia. I dont understand why people use that word the way they do. A phobia is a fear but people use it to mean hate. Not the same thing.
The man or woman that wrote about newspeak from 1984 was making a point. Is this word a case of that?
Merci.
