Definitions
Noun. [C2]
Examples
“>You're certainly under no obligation to >buy⟳ it, and you can even convince⟳ yourself that it is strictly a case >of my having a "marriage of convenience" situation that allows me to >justify⟳ my homophobia...whatever floats your boat... Again, Walter, you're making an erroneous leap⟳ of logic. If this incident should indeed allow⟳ you to justify⟳ anything, I would think⟳ it should be "pedophilaphobia". What I'm asking you to realize⟳ is that pedophiles of whatever stripe are not the same as those of us, both gay and straight, who enjoy⟳ adult sexual relations exclusively. It is a sexuality unto itself. To associate it with any other form⟳ of sexual behavior is not only unfair, but inaccurate.”
“Boy you really hit the nail on the head here. I'd take⟳ a one-armed pot-smoking libertarian guitarist over a rightwing Edward Van Halen or Nuno Bettencourt ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Given the vast preponderance of 'cause compendiums' (witness "Rock For^([sic]) Choice", "Musicians Against Intolerance", Any of of^([sic]) a Number⟳ of "NORMaL"'s efforts (Which one assume⟳ includes everything by Cypress Hill or The Black Crowes),"The North American Man-Boy Love⟳ Assocation's - Rockers Against Pedophilaphobia") in much of modern alternative rock, it of course goes without saying that an otherwise good band might miss⟳ out on the opportunity to influence⟳ America's Popular Mind⟳ if they experience⟳ resistance from "an internal enemy". Republicans, it goes without saying, are more often than not likely to be that very enemy.”
“Is it actually a word (pedophilaphobia)? Any word that can be successfully introduced to the language that helps us communicate is, in my humble opinion, a "word." Coining new words expands our universe and helps us better understand⟳ the nature of ourselves and others and the communities where we spend⟳ time. I coin new words often when I find⟳ it difficult to exactly express⟳ experiences. It is a good thing.”
“[[In reply⟳ to:] Does this [homophobia] include⟳: 1. Individuals who were victimized by some homosexual pedofiles,^([sic]) ie priests, and who now have⟳ a fear of these same people.] I think⟳ the first one would be pedophilaphobia...which is understandable. but why would someone be afraid of bisexuals? why would someone be afraid of someone who had AIDS? this is a person who is sick and may die⟳...why not show⟳ them love⟳ and compassion and not fear? As far as the hidden sexuality goes...if we were able to be free to be who we are...we wou'd'nt have⟳ people hiding would we?”
