Tonight I want to speak out about the widespread use of the term "homophobe" for any person opposed to homosexuality. It's a lame crack-back which people use to marginalize anybody that has a legitimate complaint about the sexual perverts we call homosexuals. There's nothing about homosexuality that I fear, or even misunderstand. Today we were talking about this in Diversity class, and I had to ask the teacher twice to clarify what she meant by "homophobic remarks":
Me: "What exactly do you mean by homophobic remarks?"
Teacher: "I mean things people say that are homophobic."
Me: "Do you mean people who are afraid of gay people?"
Teacher: "No, I'm talking about homophobic people."
Me: "So you mean people who make derogatory remarks about homosexuals?"
Teacher: "Yes."
As you can see, this misused term has become rather encrusted in the minds of so-called "diversity-aware" types. We really don't have any legitimate arguments against anything that we're opposed to, see, because we're just afraid. I think I will begin referring to gays as "heterophobes" from now on. I mean, why not? They're obviously just afraid of us.
I was reading Dave Barry today (note our new link to his N.Y. Daily News column), and I ran across a word which struck me as possibly being the funniest word ever. The word in question is "buttular". If we're going to be going around inventing words, we may as well be inventing words as funny and useful as buttular.
