Calling anyone any kind of “phobic” is definitely meant to be an insult. No question. It’s employed as an insult popularly. The only exception is if a trusted clinical psychologist type diagnosis a client in order to help them.
I think better of the people on this forum, thanks to the moderation of Osteng who is genuinely interested in being fair.

The accusation of being “phobic” is meant to be an ad hominem insult to a person. That is, one doesn’t have an impersonal position on the topic, one has a psychological defect on the matter. So with this as the only defense of those who support that lifestyle, it seems foolish to try to engage in a rational discussion. It’s either agree with them or you have a phobia. What foolish person is going to enter into that mud slinging event?
Let us suppose a person is a racist. How much does it matter if it is because of their religious beliefs, or just because of the subculture in which they were ..read more

Christians are often accused of being homophobic. So then I question why do people call themselves Christians in this day and age. I've searched the internet for a response. Of course, there are those Christians that try to make a case that homosexuality is not condemned by the Bible. But in this thread, I want to focus on those Christians that believe that being homosexual or engaging in same-sex behavior is wrong.
Here's one perspective I've found:
By Oxford Languages’ definition, homophobia can be as simple as a dislike for or as strong as a prejudice toward LGBT+ community members. Whil ..read more

It's a shame people like you exist.
....
but you as a Christian are a bigot towards homosexuality because of your religious beliefs. You are claiming you are justified in your bigotry because of the Bible.
It's unfortunate people get banned here for telling the truth. Sorry Boats.
It is indeed a shame that bigots exist, homophobic bigots are bigoted, just like racist bigots. The Bible, particularly the 'Old Testament' breached racial and tribal bigotry and condemns homosexuality. If one follows those teachings, why is it not fair to call the person a bigot? The Bible endorsed slavery base ..read more

Thanks for sharing those insightful Bible verses about sex. It's fascinating how different religious texts offer guidance on such a fundamental aspect of human life.
