Yesterday I posted something to larksparrow about a bad experience in my past having left me with a hatred for the gays. I tried to think of the right Greek word to attach to "homo" ie "phobia"=fear of, but couldn't come up with it. Then following a link to some other posters' website I saw a graphic which said HATE (in the slashed circle) "Homophobia Free Zone". Which leads me to wonder if two seperate things are not being equated. Is it possible to hate something and not fear it or vice versa?
Possibly this connects to other things such as sexual rage. I'm usually accused of fearing women; perky baby or little girl or someone like that on the general board just accused me of gynophobia the other day when I posted something about preferring younger women because of the power imbalance.
Re (some of the flambouyant or Jack-from-Will-and-Grace-style)gays though (the male gays), I don't find fear in myself, just a sense of extreme annoyance (hatred is too strong but I like the word). I must certainly have some sort of internal thing fuelling this, but to say HATE=FEAR seems way too simple, or just off the mark.
Topopolis is a homophilic town by the way; I'm just babbling to myself about private issues.
