“Well, from 1969 to 1984, until he died of AIDS, a teacher and I were very good friends. He even attended celebrations at my home, and I have to admit I even went with him to gay bars once in a while. So I know a homophobe when I see one. Pat Buchanan ain't no homophobe, believe me.” KnowsBelieveWellsHomeTeacherGayDiedVery GoodScaryAidsBarsCelebrationBelieve In MeGood FriendVery Good FriendsHomophobes Author:Ezola B. Foster

“I've known gay people - men and women - since I was a young person. To me it's just naturalistic and realistic to portray gay characters in a humanistic light. As a young man, I knew enough gay people as people not to fear them. On the other side of the coin, I like to irritate conservatives and homophobes.” PeopleMenPersonsEnoughCharacterLightYoungSidesKnownGayMen And WomenYoung ManRealisticCoinsGay PeopleHumanisticHomophobes Author:Gilberto Hernandez Guerrero
“The concept that really gets the goat of the gay-hater, the idea that really spins their melon and sickens their stomachs is that most terrible and terrifying of all human notions, love. That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand. Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the world's full octave. Love as Agape, Eros and Philos; love as infatuation, obsession and lust; love as torture, euphoria, ecstasy and oblivion (this is beginning to read like a Calvin Klein perfume catalogue); love as need, passion and desire.” WorldNeedsHumansIdeasDesirePassionFiveTerribleGayConceptsNotionEightGenderLustObsessionToneTortureEcstasyPerfumeOblivionInfatuationGoatsErosEuphoriaCataloguesAgapeMelonsHomophobesPassion And DesireLove Lust Author:Stephen Fry
“This is a word that is not a scientific term. This is a rhetorical tool of psychological manipulation... Because everyone knows if you dare to say homosexuality is wrong...you are a homophobe, which means you have a mental illness. That's what's built into this terminology.” IfsKnowsMeanTermGayBuiltToolsIllnessDareMental IllnessPsychologicalManipulationHomosexualityRhetoricalTerminologyHomophobesPsychological Manipulation Author:Scott Lively
