I'm sorry but you are simply wrong on the homophobia aspect and the definition therein. You are hyperfocusing on the 'phobia' part of the word and insisting that it only means a clinical fear. This is simply inaccurate and you do not have anything to back you up. You simply say "In my opinion, these extremely credible sources (including one that specifically works with LGBTQ+ folks) don't know what homophobia means." You're just wrong. There's no discussion to be had here. It's like you're trying to say 1+1=3.

I'm having a hard time taking anything you say seriously when you're trying to supplement a known, agreed upon and confirmed definition with what your personal opinion is. That's not how reality works (at least for anyone who lives in reality) and I have no interest in rewarding such behavior by continuing any conversation with you. Goodbye.
