Homophobia Is Just a Homosexual Propaganda Term, a term they made up

As we have known all along, homophobia is just a propaganda term
used by the homosexual activist community to harass those of use
who value marriage and traditional family values, and as Matt
Barber of Liberty Counsel describes:

is designed to label negatively anyone who holds traditional
values about human sexuality and marriage. He believes parents
should be in an uproar. ”We have here public education once
again trying to co-opt the proper role of parents, trying to
impose their ideology on children whether or not that happens to
be the ideology that parents share,” he points out.

Sarah Arnold, a Wisconson public high school teacher is
apparently so concerned with this made up term, that she created
a program for her students entitled, “Exposing Hidden
Homophobia. ” She heard an “anti-gay undertone” in her students
conversations and took it upon herself to educate her English
students on the issue. Arnold claims that although the student
body is mostly white, there are “unacknowledged” demographics at
her school. So she decided to address these hidden
demographics, i.e. the GLBT students (gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgendered) and pass it off as an English lesson.

The program Arnold developed included “in-depth exploration of
depictions” of homosexuality in mass media; several homosexual-
themed films, documentaries, books and novels; internet research
on “the nature of homophobia”; and a “homophobia questionnaire”
coupled with a “heterosexual questionnaire” designed to take
questions “commonly asked of homosexuals and ask them of
heterosexuals” – e.g., “When did you decide to become
heterosexual?’”

Who asks a child that? And yes, for those of you who might not
realize it, high school students are still children. The source
material that this teacher has exposed these children to is and
outrage. When students were reluctant and parents “balked,” (as
well they should), especially Christian parents, Arnold defended
her homophobia program by arguing,

that the project supported “higher-order thinking skills”
because students were asked to perform such tasks as assembling
and presenting portfolios of their research into homosexual
culture and media.

I don’t know if this lady just got out of college or what, but I
think that that her homosexual promo program is not the only
way, or even an acceptable or necessary way, to teach “higher-
order thinking skills” to students. Arnold has since attracted
outside interest in her “homophobia” program, and she has thus
made her resources and lesson plans available for other public
school teachers to use so they can indoctrinate their own
students with hyped homophobia propaganda. She also includes
with her lesson plans, shortened versions of her “Hidden
Homophobia Unit,” which you can read here.

http://www.tolerance.org/teach/activities/activity.jsp?ar=1017

Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute (IFI) said she
was “speechless” when she learned of the curriculum.

Matt Barber says the program is really intended to indoctrinate
children into thinking that homosexual behavior is okay. “The
term ‘homophobia’ is a made-up term, made up by homosexual
activists, that has no scientific value, no clinical value
whatsoever,” he contends. “It’s merely a propaganda term.”

“Wisconsin public schools are permitting radical ideologues to
use public money to promote their subversive, unproven moral
conclusions and political goals about homosexuality,” said
Higgins in an IFI article. “These propagandists, who should be
teaching history or literature or writing, are instead pursuing
their illegitimate goals of transforming the views of other
people’s children on the contentious issue of homosexuality.”

“Arnold, like countless other English teachers, bases her text
selections on whether the ideas conform to and advance her socio-
political goals and her particular moral convictions,” said
Higgins. “And she’s doing this with public money.”

Wow… with all of the recent financial shortages in public
schools, I am quite sure that schools can find better and more
productive ways to spend the little moeny they do have. Sarah
Arnold likely isn’t the only public school teacher taking leeway
with her lesson plans to indoctrinate your children with their
personal ideologies. Have you discussed curriculum with your
child’s teachers? Do you know what your children are reading,
watching and being exposed to by these radical liberals?

Actually it is not, and you ranting about it and repeating this crap like
a parrot tells us two things:

1) You are homophobic.
2) You are incapable of thinking on your own.

"Unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals

Fabricated number, fabricated charge. There was no "rip-off", and your

In the literal sense "homophobia" has nothing to do with queers
or normal people. It means you fear humans.

Thank for you making the point that queers and liberals are just
plain stupid.

Grade school silliness flushed.

Latin - homo = man

Greek - phobos - phobia = fear or morbid fear.

So homophobia means fear of man.

This is what happens when ignorant people try to make up words
without understanding the meanings of the parts they join.

The result is comical.

Yes, you're probably right there.
I feel deeply that any word can be used, misused, abused, become a power
term to some, a scientific term to others.
I was trying to highlight that situation with my little scenario, but it

Evidently he's smarter than you. A lexicographer didn't make up
the word "homophobia" or the definitions.

Certe non semper exstabit.
Quare id affirmare possum?
Look what happened to Oscar Wild. Look what happened to Alan Turing.
Could those things happen today in the west?
Look at the history of enfranchisement and liberation throughout the
20th century; women, blacks, gays + + +. And just think of what a
political revolution it would take to roll us back from that road map to
the future.
That's what western liberators have in mind when they try to impose
"democracy" onto eastern states. They envisage not just the form of
government; they envisage the same path to empowering persecuted minorities.

No it doesn't, moron. Try learning the difference between Latin and Greek.

I grant it's comical, you pretentious fool. Neither "homophobia" nor
"homosexual" has any connection with the Latin word "homo" at all, as
you would learn by looking them up in any dictionary written for

On the other hand, what about Eleanor Rykener?

Undecimo die Decembris anno regni regis Ricardi secundi decimo octavo,
ducti fuerunt hic coram Johanne Fressh maiore et aldermannis civitatis
Londoniensis Johannes Britby de comitate Eboracum et Johannes Rykener,
se Elianoram nominans veste muliebri detectus. Qui die dominica ultimo
preterita per quosdam dicte civitatis ministros noctanter inter horas
octavam et nonam super quoddam stallum in venella vocata Sopereslane
inventi fuerunt iacentes, illud vitium detestabile, nephandum, et
ignominiosum committentes, pro seperali examinatione coram dictis maiore
et aldermannis super premissa fienda et audienda etcetera. Qui quidem
Johannes Britby inde allocutus fatebatur quod ipse per vicum regium de
Chepe die dominica inter horas supradictas transiens, dictum Johannem
Rykener vestitu muliebri ornatum, ipsumque mulierem fore suspicantem
fuerat assecutus, petens ab eo, tanquam a muliere, si cum ea libidinose
agere possit. Qui ab eo argentum pro labore suo petens sibi
consentiebat, invicem transeuntes ad illud complendum usque stallum
predictum. Ipsi tamen tunc ibidem per ministros predictos in eorum
maleficiis detestabilibus capti fuerunt, carcere vero mancipati
hucusque, etcetera. Et predictus Johannes Rykener in veste muliebri hic
adductus de materia predicta allocutus cognovit se fecisse in omnibus
prout idem Johannes Britby superius fatebatur etcetera. Quesitum fuit
ulterius a prefato Johanne Rykener quis ei docuit dictum vitium exercere
et quanto tempore, in quibus locis, et cum quibus personis masculis sive
feminis illud actum libidinosum et nephandum commisit. Qui in animam
suam sponte iuravit et cognovit quod quaedam Anna, meretrix quondam
cuiusdam famuli domini Thome Blount, primo docuit ipsum vitium
detestabile modo muliebri exercere. Item dixit quod quaedam Elizabeth
Brouderer prius vestivit ipsum veste muliebri; quae etiam conduxit
quandam Aliciam filiam suam diversis hominibus luxuriae causa, ipsam cum
eisdem hominibus in lectis eorum noctanter absque lumine reponens et
eandem summo mane ab eisdem recedere fecit, monstrando eis dictum
Johannem Rykener veste muliebri ornatum ipsum Alianoram nominantem,
asserens ipsos cum ipsa sinistre egisse. Item dixit quod quidam
Philippus, Rector de Theydon Gernon, concubuit cum eodem Johanne Rykener
ut cum muliere in domo cuiusdam Elizabeth Brouderer extra
Bisshoppesgate, quo tempore dictus Johannes Rykener asportavit duas
togas ipsius Philippi. Et quando idem Philippus illas petiit a prefato
Johanne Rykener, ipse dixit quod fuit uxor cuiusdam hominis, et si ipse
illas repetere vellet faceret maritum suum versus ipsum prosequi. Item
dictus Johannes Rykener fatebatur quod per quinque septimanas ante
festum santi Michaelis ultimo elapsum morabatur apud Oxonium et operatus
est ibidem in veste muliebri in arte de brouderer nominans ipsum
Alianoram. Et ibidem in marisco tres scolares ignotos, quorum unus
nominatur dominus Willielmus Foxlee, alius dominus Johannes, et tertius
dominus Walterus, usi fuerunt sepius cum ipso abominabile vitium
supradictum. Item fatebatur prefatus Johannes Rykener quod ipse die
veneris proximo ante festum sancti Michaelis supradictum venit apud
Burford in comitate Oxonium. Et ibidem fuit commorans cum quodam Johanne
clerc atte Swan in officio de tapster per sex septimanas proximas
sequentes, infra quod tempus duo fratres minores, quorum unus nominatur
frater Michael et alius frater Johannes Barry, qui sibi dedit unum
anulum aureum, et unus frater carmelitus et sex diversi homines extranei
commiserunt cum illo vitium antedictum. Quorum quidem fratrum et hominum
supradictorum quidam dabat dicto Johanni Rykener .xii. d, quidam .xx. d,
quidam .ii. s. Item fatebatur idem Johannes Rykener quod fuit apud
Bekenesfeld et ibidem idem ut vir concubuit cum quadam Johanna filia
Johannis Mathew, et etiam ibidem cum ipso concubuerunt ut cum femina duo
fratres minores alienigenae. Item fatebatur dictus Johannes Rykener quod
post eius ultimum adventum Londoniae quidam dominus Johannes quondam
capellanus ecclesiae sanctae Margaretae Patyns et alii duo capellani in
venellis retro ecclesiam sanctae Katerinae iuxta turrim Londoniensem
commiserunt cum illo illud vitium antedictum. Item dixit dictus Johannes
Rykener quod ipse sepius concubuit cum quampluribus monialibus ut vir,
et etiam concubuit modo virili cum quampluribus mulieribus, tam
maritatis quam aliis, quarum numerum ignorat. Item fatebatur dictus
Johannes Rykener quod quamplures presbiteri fecerunt illud vitium cum
illo ut cum muliere, quorum numerum ignorat, et dixit quod citius cepit
presbiteros quam alios quia plus vellent sibi dare quam alii.

So how would you explain "homonym", Norman?

Think that the origin of the word "homonym" had a political agenda?

Don't give up your job before you try to find work as a prescriptive
grammarian.

It has a Usenet agenda - it means "the name a man uses on Usenet".

Both meanings are very good, Colanth. The first is more creative, the

Sorry, Sport, but it's a real word. It doesn't mean what you think it
means, though. 'Homophobia' doesn't mean you're afraid of gays. It
means you're afraid *you* might *be* gay.

And the fact that you apparently felt compelled to post a load of
paranoid right-wing horseshit in a newsgroup (alt.atheism) where
nobody gives a fat rat's ass what any rightard thinks about anything
lends weight to that diagnosis.

(but then, the list of totally unrelated groups you've crossposted

You are absolutely correct John...it is a propaganda term . We are
being asked to be tolerant of a particular immoral deviant lifestyle
which has killed many thousands of lives via STD's ..and...we would
not be asked to be tolerant if it were correct, permissable, and
moral , for, no one asks another to be tolerant of things which are
correct and decent --- only things which a Group KNOWS is absolutely
wrong. We as a Nation better start taking a stand against such
perversion and abomination and demand that such Groups keep their
sexual perversion out of the public arena ...for the sake of our
children if for no other reason.

I have not read a great deal of Craig Chilton's posts, but the few I
have read place him several magnitudes above you in intelligence.

You have no reason to speak of reasoning. You wrote:

"Maybe you can help your football program find a solution to their
integrity issues and get them off probation sooner. Sooner, get it?
You buckeye chump".

I don't remember anyone else on the NG's being so ignorant as you,
that they mix up so many things.

OSU in the case of my screen name is for Oklahoma State University.
The Oklahoma State University (OSU) football program is commonly
called the Cowboys.
OU, or the University of Oklahoma, the Sooners.
The Buckeyes are Ohio State, not OSU or OU.
And what football program is on probation? Oklahoma State University?

You also write: "If what is going on here, has to be explained to
you, you're in serious trouble'.

That seems to be very appropriate, in relation to you. Maybe we can
write off the confusion and disorder of your post to an over-active
New Year's celebration. Be careful, Norman. Remember those are adult
beverages...

No more so that "homosexual" os a propaganda term.

homophobic bullies.

That's a subspecies of "differentophobia"; people who differ from the
norm. It's a power thing; in the same way as when people say of someone
"ah, look at him, all stuck up and hoity-toity". It's the perceived
power that they wield that scares people and brings the victimisation on
them. To call them faggots (or (as I'm sure you are aware) lots of other
derogatory terms) is a control mechanism.

Would you prefer to be identified as a dick sucking coprophagiac

There's no such thing as homophobic. It's just another

have MASSIVE inferiority complexes that they're desperately trying

The HILARIOUS thing about that is that their desperation is as

Let it go, pal. That entrenched bitterness will do you no good at all.
And how do you get rid of it? Well, my experience of bullies tells me
"fight the little bastards".
I've never been gay (and I'm hardly likely to come out at my age), but I
have had experience of bullies. And I repeat my advice; fight the little
bastards.
You'll find that they are as trapped in their attitudes as you are in
yours; and you blame them, but they blame you. Fight the little
bastards; that is, stand up to them, show that you're prepared to fight.
And yes, you might get a few bruises but if you do it with gusto you're
more likely to see them back down, and maybe even run. Bullies are often
cowards (as I think you know). And once you've done that, even just
once, it will turn things around in a quite astonishing way. At least
that's what I've found.
Fight the little bastards. I'm not telling you to stay a fighter; it's a
tactic for turning things around, ridding yourself of a pest. That done,
you can be yourself again.

Queers call it dick sucking. They coined the term teabagging
too.

(1) You are confusing my very well-placed LOATHING of the
hate-agendas of all of the lowlife-losers who are irrational
and profoundly-IGNORANT enough to *be* bigots who
would:

(a) disparage perfectly-NORMAL gays for NO good reason,
or seek in ANY way to discriminate against them and/or
attempt to deprive them in any way of their FULL range
of Civil & Human Rights and personal liberties, including
marriage equality... and/or...

(b) support in ANY way hateful agendas that see to hurl
America BACK into the PRE-"Roe vs. Wade" Dark Ages
and FORCE girls and women to gestate UNwanted (and
thus utterly worthless) pregnancies to term against their
will at the expense of their well-being, rights, and count-
less of their future opportunities. Which would consist
of a very real, 9-month-long form of RAPE.

As you can see, this IS Civil Rights Movement II that I'm
talking about here, and I am just as staunch an ALLY of
the gays as a straight that I was a "Northern agitator"
white ALLY of the blacks when I was a worker/activist in
Jackson, Mississippi in the early '60s, in Civil Rights Move-
ment I. So -- there's nothing to "let go" of. I'm in this
all the way until both of those hate-agendas are as EX-
TINCT as those of the segregationists have been for the
last 48 years... and the RRR Cult is nothing but a dark
footnote in the history books.

(2) The advice you provided above isn't at all needed by me;
no one has intimidate me since the day a hood in high
school was taunting me in the lunch line and I whirled on
him and punched him out 4 ways from Sunday, all the
way into the Boiler Room across the hall. (We both got
suspended for the rest of the day for that -- but it was
SWEET!! I can't remember the last time I found a day
off any more satisfying and enjoyable than that!)

Finally, one thing that probably terrifies the homophobic bigots
more than anything else is the fact that we straight egalitarians
who are ALLIES of the gays in CRM II *outnumber* that gays,
themselves, by a ratio of 10-1 !! The MAJORITY of Americans --
53% and growing -- now FAVOR same-sex marriage. The lowlifes
have already LOST, and they don't fully realize that yet!

You should construct a SIG from that which you just wrote,
above, and append it to posts anytime you think it could be
helpful to people who've recently been or are being bullied. It
is GOOD advice!

That's good to hear.

"A change has come to America". Jeez, I can't begin to tell you how much
that rings around my head here in the UK.
The USA voted in a black president. That might be words in a book to
many, but to me it's written against the sky. I remember the 60s;
bussing, Martin Luther King, segregation; hate, hate, hate; entrenched
behaviour, let your lot give way first; we're in the right.

It can happen; it has happened. What brought it about? Stand up; stand
up; stand up.

As for the question of gays in the USA, well then, if they aren't good
with their fists, let them learn how to sing or dance, compose music, or
acquire some other talent related to the entertainments industry; and
then come to the UK. It's almost a sine qua non here to be gay if you
want to succeed in entertainment; and it has been for years and years.

You're better off with "cum ipso concubuerunt ut cum femina"...

(1) Unreasoning fear of homosexuals and homosexuality.

(2) Unreasoning antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.

The above was stated in the dictionary in one short sentence that
included both meanings:

"Unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals
and homosexuality."

(Since bigots are such PARANOID, GUTLESS, IGNORANT, and

After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, it became clear that almost
ANYTHING is possible!

Decades of studies have shown that *whatever* factor(s) is/are in
play to cause people to be born homosexual, it seems to control a LOT
more than merely which gender the gays and bis are attracted to. They
ALSO tend to be far above average an MANY positive ways, including
creativity, art, design, and business acumen. And history is filled with
a huge number of VERY accomplished and noteworthy LGBTs. ---

I'd never heard that Aristotle was gay before.

Latin is the lingua franca amongst our low-life yob-culture. It's the ne
plus ultra. When you want an ad hoc solution to a problem, don't seek ad
infinitum and certainly not ad nauseam. The status quo is sub iudice,
whereas tempus fugit, especially when it's on a moratorium.

Nil desperandum, however. Fortuna fortes fovet.

That little joke should have highlighted the situation. If you didn't
get it as intended, well, I was pointing out that low-life are often on
the wrong side of the law.

If I take you aright on this, you're linking their attitude to their
mental abilities; maybe even their IQ.
No, forget that; that's wrong.
We're talking about conditioned behaviour, and that doesn't occur with
one person just thinking about things, in the solitariness of his own
mind. No. It occurs from social situations; just like racism; it's
conditioned in inbred cultures.

There are, of course, other phobias that arise from events that happen
to individuals. You'll find people scared of water, scared of heights,
scared of cats. And, no doubt, some have had childhood abuse that
creates homophobia. But the majority of if that I've seen is socially
conditioned. It happens in gangs, where it's cool to be a yob, and it's
outlawed to be effeminate. The worst you can be in those groupings is
namby-pamby, tidiness freak, a swot, and other suchlike. And those who
are perceived to be such take the stick.

That's what has to be broken; the culture that creates and perpetuates
those values. The individual family situations will probably always
occur, but they are in an immense minority compared with the yob-culture
occurrences. It's the gangs that wield the power, set the street values;
and any little put-down, low self-esteem nobody can gain great kudos
from playing the bully; and they do.

There's no known easy path to cracking such endemic behaviour; it's
often a long and hard one. But it's in the air, it's today's Zeitgeist,
there have been lots of successes, and the law has changed. And that
tends to force the gangs and their attitudes more underground.
For the victims, however, it'll be a hard slog. You have to fight
spiritually, and stand up; put yourself in the limelight and claim your
rights.

"Asinine" and related words like "asininity" have only one "s".

...just like MANY words, has MULTIPLE meanings:

From Dictionary.com:

ho搶o搆ho搓i戢 [hoh-muh-foh-bee-uh] noun

(1) Unreasoning fear of homosexuals and homosexuality.

(2) Unreasoning antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.

The above was stated in the dictionary in one short sentence that
included both meanings:

"Unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals
and homosexuality."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homophobia

(Since bigots are such PARANOID, GUTLESS, IGNORANT, and
IRRATIONAL little dweebs, they probably suffers from BOTH.
Take *note* of the adjective, "unreasoning," in the definition!)
