Let's begin by looking at the literal translation of this word.
HOMO meaning "Man"
PHOBIC meaning a person who has a "Phobia" or "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."
So it literally means a person who has a irrational fear of men.
("Thank you, Jesus, I am NOT afflicted with this ailment.")
🤠(giggle)
Back in the "good 'ol days" of the 1960s, when Homosexuality (sex between men) was considered a mental illness and/or a crime, people, especially Heterosexual (straight) men, had an intense natural aversion to it.
The Gay Rights activists were having a great deal of trouble pushing their agendas forward because of all the push back they were getting.
If you had asked men back then if they thought homosexuality was okay, you would have gotten a resounding and definite, "No!"
So the Gay rights people decided to REDEFINE the term.
They told us that ANY man who was against Homosexuality was "Homophobic" ☝️ with the reason being that they had such a huge, negative reaction to it because they, themselves, were latent homosexuals with all those same sex attractions just brewing under the surface.
Suddenly men never wanted to be called homophobic again, got confused on how to respond, and decided to stop with the push back and take a step back from the whole mess
That is EXACTLY what the goal of the Gay activists was and, once a swath of nonresistance opened up, they moved in to push their agendas of social tolerance and making same-sex marriages legal, which is EXACTLY what they have done.
Now, Homophobic has been yet again redefined to include ANY person who does not fully affirm and embrace all letters of the LGBTQ+ community and is hurled at people like vitriol along with others terms like "hate-mongerer" and "white oppressor".
Again, we are shocked at being called such things and start immediately stammering out our innocence and taking a step back.
Their side has embraced the strategy of, "The Best defense is a good offense" and it is completely and consistently working for them.
Or is it? 🤨
As soon as a problem is identified, the solution is soon to follow.
People are individuals with many nuances and intricate complexities. Don't fall for their machinations, nor accept anybody's shallow, ignorant opinions of you nor their attempts to put labels on you.
Stand your ground for what you believe and we WILL feel the ground start to shake from the tremors of Truth we create.
The Truth with Love,
