RESPONSE: From Webster:
One entry found for homophobia.
Function: noun
: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or
homosexuals
Kevin enquired if there was a Konkani word for Homosexual / Homosexuality.
Domnic Fernandes provided a word that he believes fits the terminology. Now
you state his post is homophobic ? What is your rationale ? Why condemn
Domnic's post ? It would have been appropriate if you had provided a
translated word(s) instead of thrusting an undesirable halo on Domnic's post.
It is true that some societies have become gay-friendly (for want of a better
word) and we have assimilated homosexuality as part of our ideology. Canada is
at the forefront of gay rights as Kevin earlier explained to the angst of the
Holy See.
