This phrase "Homophobic", it is so worn out. If you look at the "phobic" suffix, and see that it means "an irrational fear of", it does not apply. I do not believe Arnold is afraid of the "girlie men". However, the rather shrill response by Mr. Kuehl does smack of irrationality. I would dare to say that Mr. Kuehl is Arnold-o-phobic. With the political landscape being what it is in California, the "girle men" have better representation than just about any voting bloc there is.
Most people have come to realize that "Homophobia" means "Not in agreement with the gay agenda", and really has nothing to do with psychological issues. The phrase is just a communications shortcut, an alternate means for flipping the 'bird' or expressing a drawn-out tirade at somebody the "girlie men" and like-minded individuals disagree with.
Mr. Kuehl is actually Ms. Kuehl. Some of you old timers probably remember her as Zelda on the old Doby Gillis tv sitcom in the 50's. She's really not a girley man, she's a manly girl.
