HOW DO I RESPOND TO THE SLUR OF "HOMOPHOBIA / HOMOPHOBIC”?
NEVER STAY SILENT WHEN ATTACKED WITH THE UGLY SLUR OF “HOMOPHOBIC / HOMOPHOBIA”
“Homophobia” doesn’t exist. It has never been clinically diagnosed or medically identified. Never! It's a hateful, demeaning, disrespectful slur used to ridicule and incite real violence against everyone who disagrees with aberrosexualism.
“HOMOPHOBIA” has never been listed as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the book that lists mental and psychological disorders. Homosexalism, however, has been listed in the DSM. It was taken out of the DSM in 1973, only because of bullying by corrupt extremists, known as aberrosexualists, working to legalize sodomy and other anatomically and biologically aberrant sexual behavioral choices and vices. But the fact is that so-called “homophobia” has never been listed.
“Homophobia,” “homophobe,” and “homophobic” are all disrespectful, pejorative, non-scientific, non-medical slurs used to attack, marginalize, and incite violence against everyone who disagrees with an anatomically incorrect, biologically aberrant, morally deviant sexual behavioral choice, “identity,” or “expression,” better known as aberrosexualism.
“Homophobia,” “homophobe,” and “homophobic” are all hate-loaded slurs used by partisans of aberrosexualism to unjustly discriminate, stigmatize, demean, hurt and offend those who disagree with their extremist ideology and irrational agenda. These slurs are as despicable as any other ethnic, racial or sexist slur. They have no place in civil, respectable public discourse and it should be understood that it is never acceptable. Never!
Use of the pejorative terms “homophobia,” “homophobe,” and “homophobic” to denigrate the universal rejection of aberrosexualism is a verbal act of aggression against humanity and violates our basic right to have language used in a truthful, objective, precise and depoliticized manner.
“Homophobia” does not mean an irrational fear of or discrimination against Aberrosexuals. "Homo" means MAN or PERSON, not "homosexual" or "homosexualism," and "phobia" means “irrational fear of,” not “discrimination against." If anything, “homophobia” is the irrational fear of other human beings, not the very rational rejection of aberrant sexual behavior or the rational opposition to the antinatural Aberrosexualist ideology.
It's easy for those desensitized by bigotry, ignorance, or intolerance to shrug “homophobe” off as just a word, and dismiss everyone that gets upset over it as too sensitive. Interestingly, few would make the same argument with the n-word. That's because we recognize what a loaded term it is, bound up in centuries of painful history and very real violence.
Using the "h" slurs and making derogatory comments against those who disagree with Aberrosexualism or biologically aberrant sexual conduct, isn't much different. Both are the kind of thing that tells us more about the person using them than the people he's uttering them about. It makes him look like a bigot, and it makes him look ignorant.
One of the things that unites bigots, racists and the partisans of the Aberrosexualist ideology that pushes the macabre “celebration” of biologically aberrant sexual conduct, is their inability to perceive other people as equals deserving of the same civility and respect they want for themselves. They also forget that slurs, insults and persecution are the arguments of those who simply have no arguments. Perhaps that’s why Aberrosexualists invariably resort to slurs, insults and persecution against those who dare to disagree with them.
In the end, they must recognize that those who demand respect must first extend it to others. It's that simple!
RESPONDING TO EXTREMISTS’ BULLYING, INTIMIDATION AND NAME-CALLING
PROTECT YOUR CLASSMATES, CO-WORKERS, FAMILY MEMBERS AND YOURSELF FROM ASSAULT, AGGRESSION, AND VIOLENCE
■ Demand a “Homophobe,” “Homophobic,” or “Homophobia” Anti-Slur Policy be adopted, posted and reviewed at work and at school. Work with colleagues to identify and support enforcement of community-wide expectations.
■ Post the “Respectful Space” posters in work areas, classrooms, and hallways (available from FDL).
■ Intervene immediately to stop the use of these hurtful slurs: Use a “matter of fact” tone. “Excuse me, that language is unacceptable. “Homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia” are put downs. Using them is against our rules and regulations.” Call these slurs demeaning, degrading, and disrespectful. If time is available, define the meaning of a slur. Explain that slurs dehumanize, promote hatred and justify violence against its victims.
■ If needed, clearly explain why you are calling the incident "hate speech." Occasionally, people don’t realize the bigotry or prejudice in what they are saying. Take a few moments to explain why what they are saying is name‐calling.
<> "Calling someone a 'homophobe' or 'homophobic' is offensive. Although you might mean ‘stupid’, you are actually saying that “stupid” and being pro-sexual normalcy or expressing disagreement with anatomically and biologically aberrant sexual behavioral choices, or aberrosexualism, are the same. It is not okay to put down other people. Furthermore, it’s not okay to call other people stupid.”
■ Take Advantage of Teachable Moments. Ask the person if they know why the term is so offensive. If persons understand where the slur comes from, or the history of why it is hurtful, it can often help avert further offenses. “The word ‘homophobia’ refers to an alleged psychological condition that does not exist. The word 'homophobia' first appeared in print in a May 23, 1969 article published in the antisocial, pornographic magazine Screw. It was used to ridicule men who didn’t want others to think they were aberrosexual."
■ Confront Sexist Stereotypes. Sexist stereotypes are simplistic notions held by individuals or groups against those who disagree with their sexual ideology or political agenda. Hearing somebody refer to those who are pro-sexual normalcy or who disagree with biologically aberrant sexual behavioral choices as “homophobes” or calling people “homophobic” should also be addressed as bullying behavior.
■ Seek Immediate Measures. If appropriate, seek immediate consequences for the individual using the ugly slurs of “homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia.”
■ Follow up privately, if necessary. Check in with the person who was called a name to make sure s/he is okay, and to let them know that you care.
■ Follow up with the Name-Caller. It’s also a good idea to follow up with the individual that used the hurtful language. Often times, individuals that bully are in need of positive role models, not just correction.

Additional Tips for High School Classrooms
HERE ARE 7 ways you can address offensive, disrespectful “homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia” slurs
■ Let the student know that you have pro-sexual normalcy friends or family and that you find what they said personally offensive.
<> “You know, I have good friends who are fair-minded and pro-sexual normalcy, so I find what you just said to be really offensive.”
■ Explain to the student why “homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia” are inappropriate.
<> “What you just said was really inappropriate because you are implying that there is something wrong with being in favor of sexual normalcy when there isn’t.”
■ Ask student to repeat what they said using non-offensive, respectful language.
<> “You need to say that again without the disrespectful hate language please.”
■ Remind students that there is nothing wrong with being pro-sexual normalcy, orthosexual or with disagreeing with anatomically and biologically aberrant sexual behavioral choices, or aberrosexualism.
<> “Just because you may dislike being orthosexual or pro-sexual normalcy, you should not use a word that actually dehumanizes, disrespects and hurts.”
■ Teach students more sophisticated words to substitute for “homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia.” You could teach just one word or several and have a poster on the wall to point to. Remind students that using hate-loaded slurs makes them look ignorant, while using more sophisticated terms will make them look smarter. When a student uses a phrase like “that’s homophobic,” have them restate it using more sophisticated words such as orthosexual or pro-sexual normalcy.
■ Make a list of slurs with your students that they commonly use and hear. Talk about why these slurs are wrong and about what kind of people might use those terms. Keep this banned words list handy, on the wall, etc., to remind students never to use them.
■ Teach students the pejorative meaning of the slurs “homophobe,” “homophobic,” or “homophobia” (degrading, dehumanizing, demeaning, discriminating, and disrespecting everyone who is pro-sexual normalcy or orthosexual), talk about the similarities between the antisocial aberrosexualist slurs and ethnic, racial or sexist slurs. Then remind them that they are being hurtful whether they know it or not.
