Okay, so I've been hearing a lot of people saying that the word 'homophobe' is not a real word for the following reasons:
"Its a made up word to give us 'normal people' a bad name"
And,
"Homophobia means it's a fear, but since it's not used that way it doesn't exist"Roll Eyes 

(This is mostly pointed towards the second statement.)
Well, for those uneducated homophobic people out there, did you know that, back in the 60's, homophobia was an actual fear *gasp* I KNOW RIGHT HOW STRANGERoll Eyes!!!!!!! Homophobia used to be an actual fear. It was described as "the fear that people judged the individual to be gay". So, why isn't it seen as an official fear? Probably the same reason why the word Cunt now means vagina rather than the name of a goddess. Words change meaning! It's the same thing as saying that tyrpophobia isn't a word because it's no longer seen as a true phobia. People started using the word differently to describe someone who was prejudice against gays. It's kind of easy to see the transition, honestly. Just because it doesn't mean it's original meaning, doesn't mean that it's no longer a word.

But, even if the word was a fraud, would it still change the fact that prejudice against gays exist? Like, disproving the word (which would be impossible to do) wouldn't change the fact that your prejudice behavior against gays is wrong, bias, and uneducated. 

I would also like to give a good fuck you to homophobic straight people who call themselves 'normal'. Homosexuality and Bisexuality are just as natural as Heterosexuality. In fact, in most ancient civilizations (Rome for example)  saw bisexuality as 100%  and was, in fact, expected for citizens to have. there was also another culture that believed that a man was to have two sexual relationships. One with a woman for reproductive reasons, and one with a man (usually a lot younger than the individual) to form a sexual/ romantic relationship so that they could be compatible and help each other out at war. So please, shut the fuck up and educate yourselves, please.
