Phobia - A Fear Of Something

Therefore, homophobia would be the fear of gay people.

Somehow I highly doubt that Justice Scalia is afraid of gay people.

Rep. Barney (I'm now calling him Brandy) Frank (D-MA) is very stupidly suggesting that Justice Scalia is homophobic. This is a common practice by gays to bully conservatives into various political corners.

For as smart as Brandy is, you'd think he and other homosexuals would have a better grasp on the English language when using a term like homophobia.

Rep. Frank, if you're going to name-call, at least have the decency to use proper English when doing so. You're embarrassing yourself.
