dude you know damn well that you no one is saying you have a clinical condition, where folks have a fear specific things or anxiety. those are the "phobia" you're referencing (claustrophobia, arachnaphobia, etc).

homophobia is a NON-CLINICAL phobia, in the same light as xenophobia. folks have a irrational fear/hatred/dislike of a GROUP because of political, social, religious, etc beliefs. (i say hatred/dislike because "philia," which means "love of," is the antonym of "phobia.")

now, how is this NOT homophobic:
>I believe homosexuality isn't something that
>should be embraced in our culture
?

what's the rational basis for this?
