And I'm sick and tired of homophobes who claim that they're not anti-gay but then in the next breath say that they're sick and tired of the homosexual agenda being in their faces and crammed down their throats.
If that was a comment directed at me, since you quoted me, you couldn't be more wrong about me. Yes, I'm tired of their in-your-face tactics both politically and otherwise. That in no way means I'm homophobic.
By the way, a phobia is defined as an irrational fear that produces a conscious avoidance of the feared subject, activity, or situation.
I fear nothing and certainly not homosexuals. They're no threat to me whatsoever. There are just some things in life I don't care for. In this context I simply think that tunnel vision politics are inappropriate.

Again, if that was directed to me you couldn't be more wrong. My daughter knows that my feelings on the subject are based upon my faith but are certainly no deterrant to accepting her and her partner as a part of our family, and an important one.

Faith is optional. Subscribing to religious based intolerance is optional.
I'm sick of people saying, "Well my religion....". Sexual orientation is not chosen but religion sure as hell is.

You can have your own definition of a word, but that doesn't mean it's the only definition. For decades, "homophobia" has been defined as an irrational fear or contempt for homosexuality. Random House, American Heritage, and Merriam-Webster's all define it this way.

You can't argue faith. Someone either has it or they don't.
