Thread Name: BS: I dont understand the word homophobia
Subject: RE: I dont understand the word homophobia
"A phobia is a fear but people use it to mean hate.
Actually, it's applied much more loosely than that. Not "hate", but an expression of mere dislike or disapproval calls forth an accusation of "homophobia" these days.
