[Facts] About phobias
The word "homophobia" always sounded kinda odd to me, too. Personally, I prefer the word "xenophobia" to cover all bases. Not just to describe a fear of gay people, but also a fear of any kind of people (or ideas) which are "foreign" to the status quo.-- Nanaea

And here I thought "Xenaphobia" was a fear of teevee cultural icons. :)-- Nanaea
