if you don't have a real argument you should not be in this thread. you can't expect us to believe you are this dumb with regards to how homophobe is used in modern society....
..and just becasue it is a bunch of people that do so I should just shut up and get along... NOPE.
Not gonna happen.
I don't care how many people misuse it, they are ALL wrong. Everyone who misues a word that ends in "phobe" to indicate hatred (regardless of if there actually IS hatred as opposed to simple disagreement) is an IDIOT, and I will take great pleasure in informing them of it.
If you don't like it, don't misuse the word and you won't have to hear it.

Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white.

I am aware of Scalias "logic," and his rejection of it about a year later with Robamacare.

Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing.

If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it.
