Not only bad, but destructive.
Another reaction.
So I was looking at one of my regular stops [found it--Body Impolitic], noted someone objecting to "homophobia" [4th comment] as a term for people who object to gays, lesbians, transgendered, bisexuals, and generally sexually speaking not heteronormative, on principle rather than out of fear, wondered whether this person realizes that there is a fairly sizable intersection set of people who have principles and also in some sense fear queerness (for whatever reason), and am considering whether the term "homobigot" should be brought back, even though the word seems to mean "same bigotries" rather than "intolerant of GLBTQ&" and might therefore confuse. Perhaps (one of the distinguishing characteristics of the human in the wild is the insistence on distinguishing characteristics) I need to resort to mathematical notation. So in the Venn diagram, we get the set of not-phobic, not-friendly, not-gay [in the umbrella sense]. Homotolerantsorta?
