I guess it depends on how you defined "homophobe". If you take it literally: "Homo" = same, "phobe" = fear...then you get "fear of gay people". This would seem accurate as most who oppose gay marriage seem to FEAR what granting such a right would do to their definition of a "traditional" marriage. if you construe homophobia as "hate", then I would agree that applying this term to ALL who oppose gay marriage would not be accurate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:353058 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
