title: Associated Press bans the word &lsquo;homophobia&rsquo;

<p>&hellip;and &lsquo;transphobia&rsquo; and &lsquo;Islamophobia&rsquo;&hellip;</p>
<p>On the one hand, I can sort of understand their argument, and those made when I brought this up online, that phobias are certainly real, medical things, and the tunnel-vision-racing-pulse-headache-shallow-breath panic attack that comes with any window or balcony over about two stories certainly agrees with that. </p>
<p>However, it&rsquo;s easier for me to see the other side presented. A hatred is born in fear, just like a lot of fear is involved in the whole zero-sum game so many think is being played when it comes to gay rights being improved. Either way, though, if the press is going to stop the use of &lsquo;homophobia&rsquo; and other such words, they&rsquo;d certainly better come up with something to replace it, something with as much meaning and power that homophobia has picked up over the years. I don&rsquo;t think they can, really, and it makes me wonder if there&rsquo;s not some effort in this directed at knocking down the power that the word has gained.</p>
