I think we're essentially saying the same thing in different ways. Im thinking a phobia needs to be rooted in the irrational. However, he's saying that the phobia isnt a phobia because it isnt natural. Same thing, different premise
No, he’s saying the phobia isn’t a phobia because he isn’t afraid, you’re saying it isn’t a phobia because it’s natural, or rational, to be afraid; as in being afraid of spiders. You’re saying it’s rational to be afraid of spiders so it’s not a phobia because phobias are irrational fears, correct?
Right, i think i confused myself. My bad
It’s all good, I understood where you were coming from but also recognized that you guys were making two different points about phobias. I think both apply to homophobia. You don’t have to have a phobia of gays to be called homophobic, in the sense that you just find it grotesque and unnatural. It’s also completely natural to have a phobia of gays, because it’s something completely unnatural.
You’re both right, I was just trying to speed up the connection that you guys weren’t saying the same thing
