also, homophobe is a neologism and a slur. homos is greek for "same" but also homo means "man" in latin and phobe is latin for "fear". it's sciencey-sounding stems jammed together. "fear of the same" and "fear of man" which both have nothing to do with anything "homosexual" as latin latin is "man-sexual" which doesn't make any sense and the greek would be "same-sexual" which also doesn't make any sense. people use this word as a slur. it's structured as a motte and bailey in the same way as antifascist. it doesn't really mean anything because anything that is pro anything other than fascist is antifascist.

also, i can't go shopping today because it's a public holiday here in croatia, day of the antifascist struggle. i'm just gonna call it antifa day but super annoying because i literally have to go 40km to find anything open to buy milk or anything. i was gonna go buy supplements but even if i go that distance, which i'd have to do on my bike anyway, because no buses are running, the shop is closed because of this dumbass holiday.

Have to research meaning of words to understand but yeah. I just not a fan of name calling and don't have a problem with sexual orientation. Do have a problem sexual abuse in any form. I'm a peace and love guy.
