homophobes almost never agree w/being called 'homophobe' and often disagree w/the definition of the word 'homophobia'.

so have fun w/a few definitions, homophobe. go ahead and distinguish them. have fun making a fool of yourself. b/c it's clear that you harbor anti-gay sentiment which is what makes you a homophobe. and you don't have to agree that you're a phobe for the word to stick. surely other homophobes will agree that you aren't one...but...i mean, LOL @ that shit. and who cares about the label? it means nothing, really. it's the sentiment that matters. it's clear that you harbor animus toward gays. you have an aversion to homosexuality. you dislike it. you disagree w/it. you agree that it's an abomination. that homosexuals should repent. that ppl loving members of the same gender is sinful. you agree w/all of that - which makes you a homophobe. it's okay if you disagree. it's better if you do, actually. b/c it just confirms what we already know about you.

have fun:
