Is it bigotry to suffer from Arachnophobia?
The Oxford English Dictionary states:
homophobia:
“an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexuals.”Irrational:
“Not logical or reasonable, which is opinion, as is extreme”Aversion:
“A strong dislike or disinclination”Disinclination:
“A reluctance to do something”Homophobia, is just a strong dislike. It is not bigoted to dislike spiders…
Bigot:
“a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others.”Bigotry has nothing to do with sexual preference.

Bigotry has everything to do with hating someone solely because of their sexuality.

So Arachnophobia is bigotry? Someone who dislikes spiders, is a bigot?
HOW MANY PEOPLE DISLIKE SPIDERS, come on, hands up? Who dislikes anything?
bigot, bigot, bigot….theres millions of bigots.
I think the term homophobe is misused. As is the term paedophile.
People who hate gays because they’re gay aren’t homophobes.
People who harm children aren’t paedophiles.You’re stalking again Geoff. :roll:
I post my point of view in response to emma. I do it in a civil fashion.
You post a personal attack on me.You’re obsessed you stalkin’ freak!
Your confusing me now owen.
Bigot:
“a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others.”You said
Bigotry has everything to do with hating someone solely because of their sexuality.prejudice • noun 1 preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience. 2 unjust behaviour formed on such a basis. 3 chiefly Law harm that may result from some action or judgement.
• verb 1 give rise to prejudice in (someone); make biased. 2 chiefly Law cause harm to (a state of affairs)
tolerant • adjective 1 showing tolerance. 2 able to endure specified conditions or treatment.
Wheres the hatred?
It’s about phobia and bigotry. Phobias are beyond our control, bigotry is chosen.
Edit Therefore a genuine homophobe is not a bigot.
If you want a fight Geoff, start a fight thread.
Stop destroying sensible threads for the sake
of your obsession with certain JC posters.@Ow£n Ka$h wrote:
