"homophobia" is a flattering term to gays because it implies that people are scared of them
instead of just thinking that dicks up asses are wrong

Lmao, keep telling yourself that.

That's like saying a girl is flattered by being called a b&$#% because it implies she's a special girl and the person saying it totally has respect for women.

doesnt phobia mean fear?
because if it doesnt then what does it mean??
so arachnophobia isnt a fear of spiders?????

Well, phobia does mean fear. It's just nowadays it's taken out of context by people who use it to label themselves a gay basher.

then its settled !
homophobia is the fear of gay people case closed people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

"Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs."

It's more broad than just fear.

There's a damn difference, don't let Tumblr get to you.

I have pyrophobia, I'm scared of fire to the point where being close to it almost gives me a heart attack. Do I hate fire??? No. Fire is needed for many things, I'd just rather not be near it.

If I said I hated fire, would I be a pyrophobe?

Arthur, sometimes suffixes can take on more meanings as phenomena happen, in the suffix "phobia" it is a non-clinical use and instead used for prejudice of things, hate and fear are very close anyways, you got xenophobia, heterophobica(lol), homophobia, etc.
