Mormonaphobe

[_jskains]

When people disagree with homosexuality, the normal liberal tactic (right out of Rules for Radicals) is to run to namecalling. The common term is homophobe. Certainly if I don't agree with gay marriage, it must be because I FEAR homosexuals.

So here is my new word for the members of this board. Mormonaphobes.

Now I admit that you folks worked harder than I did to earn homophobe. I simply disagree with SSM. However, you folks mock the Church, accuse the Church of horrible things, lie, character assassinate, and generally spew uglies at anything Mormon.

So there it is. My contribution to Internet LDS terminology. Mormonaphobes.

What do you call a person who disagrees with polygamy? Maybe it is a polyphobe? Hmm, that doesn't fit very well. Maybe Polygamophobe?

[_jskains]

Pluralaphobe.

Huh, I don't see that anywhere. Can you point me to the source? Mostly, I'm curious if this is a real phobia.

You're calling bcspace a Mormonaphobe?

[_RockSlider]

isn't "fear of" the main ingredient of *phobe?

I don't know if you fear SSA, but I do know I don't fear Mormonism ... born and raised in it.

Shut up, Mormonaphobe! :)

(That's usually the gist of most SSM conversations - Just shut them up with the word homophobe).

Mormonism is a lifestyle choice. Homosexuality is inborn.

Please don't try to impose your alternative lifestyle on the rest of us decent Americans.

The thinking behind using the term "homophobia" to describe those that have an louder than usual preoccupation of condemning gays and lesbians and vigorously promoting anti-gay legislation often is not that such individuals "FEAR homosexuals."

Rather, "homophobia" in that context is often used to underscore that such individuals (who have an louder than usual preoccupation of condemning gays and lesbians and vigorously promoting anti-gay legislation) have been scientifically shown to have a much higher probability of "FEARING their OWN latent homosexuality."

Those that protest more than their average straight counterparents are more likely to be fighting their own innate same-sex attractions, and the term homophobe refers to such individuals' "FEAR" that if laws allow for fully equal expression of same-sex relationships, their own resolve to fight against such may be weakened.
