You seem to be somewhat confused my fascist friend.
My post is obviously referring to 'kingdai', a fact indicated by my quoting his post.
Sorry, I carelessly took it the quote was from fozzy's imperfect list. How embarrassing.

Many thousands of people have died as a result of homophobia, in all it's insidious forms
That homosexuality was often considered a capital crime under several totalitarian regimes and/or the laws of Sharia, and that many were humiliated, treated uncharitably, and lost their lives is, indeed,
very much a tragedy; and an unnecessary one at that, for some of you seem to be doing a good enough job demoralizing and killing
yourselves (Tragedy in the fullest, grecian(!), sense) as it is.

2.imaging famous lesbian Claire Balding from horse racing having lesbian sex
So, the normal, honest, revulsion most people feel toward depictions, imagined or otherwise, of homosexual sex is a) a mental disorder (like an hysterical fear of heights or clowns) for which the individual is somehow, paradoxically, responsible because b) it is also a judgement of value issued with free moral agency -- yet this is what we must accept in remaining faithful to the way "homophobia" functions in modern discourse. Perhaps silly isn't the best word.
EDIT: I only wanted to point out that a phobia,
by definition, afflicts only a marginal element of a given population; moreover, phobias are always recognized by patients themselves as unreasonable.
