What word would be more appropriate than homophobe here? I know it's fun to argue, but what is your point?

- omonra 12y agoThe word homophobe implies that his views were more extreme toward homosexuals than majority of his class - which is simply untrue. If you want, you could say 'his views, while progressive at the time, would be considered homophobic by the standards of 2014'.
- jedanbik 12y agoI'm fine with using the word homophobia to describe homophobia. Just because most people were something doesn't mean they weren't that something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman
- omonra 12y agoFair enough - I take your point. He didn't like gays.
