Chick-Fil-A Debuts New Homophobic Sandwich

I'm not homophobic. I just think that homosexuality is wrong.
Two different things.

No... they are the same thing.

Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, irrational fear, and hatred

See? That's you.

Homosexuality should not be frowned upon any more than mental retardation or downs syndrome. It is natural to have defects in life and there is no reason to hate them for it.

Homo-phobia. phobia = fear. Your wikipedia definition is wrong.

Again, not homophobic. I just think homosexuals are wrong.
And they are.

Actually again, no.... you're wrong.

You're being too simplistic and not actually understanding what you're talking about.


pho·bi·a/ˈfōbēə/
Noun:
An extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something: "he had a phobia about being under water"; "a phobia of germs".


Also language evolves...


I don't think there's a single person out there who actually thinks "homophobia" means being "scared" of gays.


Seriously... you're just being silly.

Yes you are homophobic


Thinking it's wrong makes you homophobic.... as does saying "someone should speak out against homosexuals"

edit on 26/7/12 by blupblup because: (no reason given)

Your interpretation of the definition of homophobic is just that. An interpretation.

From dictionary.reference.com...
intense hatred or fear of homosexuals or homosexuality

www.thefreedictionary.com...
Fear of or contempt for lesbians and gay men.

www.merriam-webster.com...
irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against

and your definition of aversion is wrong as well...

www.merriam-webster.com...
the act of turning away
a feeling of repugnance toward something with a desire to avoid or turn from it

I fit in none of these definitions.
I think homosexuality is wrong. Doesn't mean I hate them or fear them.
