I agree that using the term in the article was stupid, but the logic doesn’t follow. If he was worried she would leave him for another man, he wouldn’t be justified of holding heterophobic fears.
That’s where I was going. It’s not reasonable to say that someone who doesn’t support the gay agenda is “homophobic” or to say that someone who opposes Islamism is “islamophobic”. The left loves to assert that political views opposed to theirs are based on fear or hatred to avoid having to discuss issues rationally.
But what would real homophobia look like?
Fear that the government will force you to actively share the gay agenda to keep your job? That happened so I guess that’s a reasonable fear.
Fear the the Army will overdose on politically correct thinking and let clearly unstable people have access to classified information? That happened so I guess that’s a reasonable fear.
Fear that gays will campaign against being deferred from blood donation even though they have a vastly higher rate of HIV and Hepatitis? That happened so I guess that’s a reasonable fear.
Fear that the Mayor of Chicago will say that supporting the gay agenda is required to do business in his town? That happened so I guess that’s a reasonable fear.
Now if this guy was afraid of any random person stealing his wife is that “mywifeleavingmephogic” of something? But again, that turns out it would be a reasonable fear and not a phobia.
