It's a joke piece of PROPAGANDA. That's what it is.Of course, homophobia is a word which accurately describes the attitude of many in this forum, including the OPer. The fact that it's relatively new is completely irrelevant.
It's an English language word which describes an attitude, lust like 'racism' and 'sexism'. Sorry that you don't like it.It's a joke piece of PROPAGANDA. That's what it is.
Animals perform acts of nonconsensual sex as well. Are you willing to apply your same logic to all animal behavior?Homosexuality and bisexuality are both perfectly natural. Animals, like dolphins and bonobos, perform homosexual acts on eat other. They are only a tiny sample.

I think she is responding to the usual PRATT that attempts to claim that homosexuality is not natural because it does not occur in nature. She is not trying to apply that logic to all animal behavior.Animals perform acts of nonconsensual sex as well. Are you willing to apply your same logic to all animal behavior?
No, wrong!It's an English language word which describes an attitude, lust like 'racism' and 'sexism'. Sorry that you don't like it.
Nope, it's an English language word with a certain meaning. No need to use a thesaurus when there's a perfectly acceptable word to use. The fact that you don't like the word doesn't make it invalid or unacceptable, sorry.No, wrong!
It is a word created to inflict and impose a negative connotation on those who do not view homosexuality in a positive light.
It is a word purely created to smear indignation and scorn upon those who do not share the creator of the words view of homosexuality.
It is a filthy underhanded way of spewing PROPAGANDA. Hence it is stupid and should not be used around here.
There are better ways to communicate without hateful words such as this. Use a thesaurus to help you along the way if necessary.

I don't recall anyone ever saying that homosexuality doesn't occur in natureI think she is responding to the usual PRATT that attempts to claim that homosexuality is not natural because it does not occur in nature. She is not trying to apply that logic to all animal behavior.

Stop trying to derail; that is irrelevant to this thread.Can you show us examples of people claiming that homosexual acts don't occur in nature?
Homophobia differs from an ethical disapproval. It exists, and your denial of its existance doesn't make it go away.There is no such thing as HOMOPHOBIA. This is a made up word by the homosexual political agenda. Them and their money in cahoots with a few people in the Psychology field, have come up with this retarded word. Retarded because it only retards our countries progress.
I love how they try and make the dislike of homosexuality a "Phobia". In which they are trying to make the normal heterosexual 'Unstable' or 'Mentally Deranged' because they have an aversion to a vile SIN like homosexuality. It's a thing of beauty as far as PROPAGANDA is concerned. Joseph Goebbels is giving two thumbs up in his burning grave.
So if you want to discuss politics or religion in a sane fashion, don't use the word "homophobia" because it only makes you look weak.
Say your aversion or dislike of homosexuality. Once you use the made up PROPAGANDA word 'homophobia' then you look like you have run out of real words and are drooling made up slurs. It's not attractive.
Come on people, let's try to keep it above the belt and real. There is no reason for pure propaganda around here.
Etymology
The word homophobia is a neologism first coined by psychologist George Weinberg in his book Society and the Healthy Homosexual in 1972. It can be broken down into the Greek words homo meaning "the same" and phobia which means "fear". It may be seen as a portmanteau of homosexual and phobia. A precursor was homoerotophobia, coined by Dr Wainwright Churchill in Homosexual Behavior Among Males in 1967.
Usage of the term
The term homophobia usually implies irrational hatred and fear of homosexuals or homosexuality itself. Some people, especially in the gay rights movement, use the term to mean any sort of disapproval of homosexuality, whether subtle or explicit, unconscious or conscious, completely unreasoning or in some way principled. These advocates make no distinction between the two usages and consider all opposition to homosexuality irrational.

P.s. This has noting to do with "hate". This has everything to do with common courtesy. Thank you.
Humans do and have done a lot of things for ages. Would you grant the same consideration to all of them that you seem to regarding homosexualityThe 'other species do/don't do it, therefore it is natural/un-natural' is relatively unimportant. The important thing is that the human species do it, they do it as a natural human result of a natural human orientation, they have done it since the species evolved, and therefore it is natural.
