I'm also arachnophobic and that means a different kind of reaction - mainly screaming and running away. I can't do that in social situations, though I very often want to, but I try to keep calm and think rationally.<br /><br />See, homophobes should be able to do that, too. If they're really afraid of GLBTQ people, they should be able to stay calm in a social surrounding and think rationally about their fear. They shouldn't be acting out, dropping snide remarks or spewing hatred all over the sidewalk. I don't start shouting stupid stuff at people when I feel uncomfortable around them. <br /><br />So, I think it's pretty evident that, in many cases, homophobes aren't fearful. They're just haters who have either found that hatred on their own, or have been raised in that hatred.<br /><br />Erica<br />eripike at gmail dot comErica Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410036734790965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625408819948248721.post-2564207573839940132012-05-20T13:49:57.737-07:002012-05-20T13:49:57.737-07:00Just hopping by.

Now whenever I see a spider I panic and can feel them running over my back. It doesn't matter that it is nearly 30 years after the incident. I still have the same reaction, even two nights ago when I was sitting right here nad working my way through the blog hop posts, I spotted a spider running across the floor towards my feet and the panic set in. <br /><br />I know exactly where that phobia comes from and try as I can I cannot get over it.<br /><br />Homophobia is something that in my opinion is incorrectly worded. I don't believe for an instant that the most vocal homophobes are actually in fear of homosexuals. I don't believe hate is a fear. <br /><br />But whatever the case, it needs to be stamped out forever so everyone has equal rights no matter who they love.L.M.
