Talk:Heterophobia

From RationalWiki

CP's writing an article on this, intended as a neologism to classify all homosexuals as not gay, but "heterophobes," to suggest that being gay is just a personality quirk. I think we need a refutation.-αmεσ (heckuva job!) 21:14, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, spreaching only for myself, I can tell you that I am afeared of no straight woman and care to sleep with the same amount of them. CЯacke® 21:25, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

Best of luck with your endeavors, Mr. Cracker. Anyone know why these sections in this article are numbered? Weird. Genghis Khant 04:09, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

Nothing like that is showing up to me? even weirder! Although I have a glitch in the Maryland page that apparently only appears on my computers, so I won't suggest anything like keeping off the sauce:--Remarcsd 08:16, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

Given that heterophobia means fear of difference, then does this term not discredit those that coined it (assuming that they are not latent homosexuals themselves- as the term "homophobia" implies) ? Dreadnought 05:27, 16 December 2007 (EST)

I don't know where you picked up your connotative dictionary, but "homophobia" for me does not imply that someone is latently homosexual. It means that the person has a very high disgust for the idea of homosexuality, no matter what the cause. "internalized homophobia" is the specific form of homophobia that you seem to be wishing to use. --Eira ^yay! 07:48, 16 December 2007 (EST)

The connotation is etymological. Since homophobia literally means a fear of that which is the same, or a fear of sameness, then it stands to literal reason that if a person is homophobic, and also hates or fears gays, then they must be gay themselves. Homophobia is an etymologically "bad" word, much like chocoholic. Anybody here addicted to chocohol? (-: Brianetta 20:15, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Here's something that is truly bizarre - Conservapedia have a page on 'Homosexuality and Scotland'. According to this page, the Church of Scotland is sympathetic to the 'homosexual agenda' (which my reading of Conservapedia's definition is some vast conspiracy of homosexuals doing evil things with an end goal of...well, I'm not even sure THEY know what), and this 'agenda' can be 'exemplified' by such things like 'the introduction of secular marriage', 'forcing religious schools to employ atheist teachers', 'protection for pedophiles' and a '22% increase in calls for emergency services caused by liquor'. Can anyone actually see a link between these things and homosexuality anywhere, far less specifically Scottish homosexuality? Zmidponk 21:05, 13 January 2008 (EST)

IF HETEROPHOBIA does not exist, why this? http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21804872-2,00.html Not coming back to read answers, this page is really racist.^{— Unsigned, by: 85.18.66.19 / talk / contribs}
