"Homophobia" - could their be a more idiotic word?

This first post is one I decided to do on my own. I recently had a discussion about this with someone else, but I won't reveal their name and/or description because that could leak information about me, and no one wants that.

Back to the subject! Homophobia's best definition is:
(Source: Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary, © 2002 Merriam-Webster, Inc.)"n : prejudice against homosexual people and homosexuality"

Couldn't have said it more clearly myself! Homo-phobia, ironically, is not really a fear, it's a prejudice! Homophobia was developed to make people who discriminated against gay/bisexual people look better. If they used a word with phobia at the end, it would make it sound like a fear, and therefore make it seem like it's not their fault.

These people have a disorder I like to call "closemindedness". Yes, it's a word, but this time it's not a fear! Now those jerks can't cover their own asses! Aww, poor things. You have to look bad!? No!

Unfortunately, gay/bisexual discrimination has become a big issue, and it's too sad. In an article I recently read, a man in the military was discharged because of his sexuality. Apparently he wanted to serve in the army and be open about his sexuality, but that just didn't fly with the government. It abuses their "don't ask, don't tell" policy which to me is a bunch of bullshit! Let's all cover up who we really are and live in a pretend world.

Now you may think I'm a hypocrite because I haven't released any information about myself to you, but I'm not being discriminated against. The reason I'm not releasing any information is to keep it that way. If anyone had any details about me, more opinions would form and I'm sure I would get nasty emails, and I'm just not game for that kind of shit.

Back on topic, I believe that anyone should be willing to serve in the army if they want to, no matter what their race, religion, sex, sexual preference, haircut, or anything personal! It's discrimination and it's wrong!

Another article I recently read deals with the "Gay marriage" bill. They decided not to pass it. The worst part is is two very big political leaders, one being the president, are both too "closeminded" to understand being gay and accepting it. Instead they are thinking about themselves and what they think is right. Again, discrimination is shaking it's fat ass at us.
When you see two men/women together, think about this: It could've just as easily been you. A gay/bisexual person is born with their sexual preference.

Next time you see two men/women, don't snicker and make jokes because it's just as weird to be a man and woman couple as it is to be a man and man/woman and woman couple. Who ever declared that a "male-female" relationship was the norm was a close-minded jerk like thousands of people in the world.
