When was homophobia invented?

[Jekyll's Guest]

IIRC homophobia was invented in 1972. The same year the Ford Pinto came out.

I remember those!

The tiniest impact with their rear and they'd explode.

I hear the Pinto had the same flaw.

Sounds pretty damn gay if you ask me.

What is important to understand is that what drives a pederast to have sex with little boys is very different from what makes a homosexual man attracted to other men. A pederast can very well be attracted to adult women; the pederast behaviour often comes from being abused in childhood themselves.

This is off a university website I read some years back in the context of arguing with people who claimed that homosexuality was a mental disease, yada.

This is why gay people can't work with BSA/GSA, because of uh, ...people...who think like this.

Okay, since you apparently have trouble getting it I'm going to ask a simple question: Is a man that haves sex with a 14 year old girl with nice tits, ass and wide hips a heterosexual? The answer is: OF COURSE HE IS.

Thus: is a man that has sex with a 14 year old boy with a nice chest and ass a homosexual (or even a possible bisexual)? The answer is: OF COURSE HE IS.

God people, think for ****'s sake.

Little boys? 'Pederasty' isn't pedophilia, though they can obviously overlap since the only quality that the younger party needs to have is that he's a 'boy'. Historically what ages the boys were was different depending on the culture, but as a term taken by itself the 'boy' can very well be 18 years old, if not older.

Perhaps some people mistakingly assumed that you were implying that pederasty was inherent to homosexuality.

When reading through histories, I'm always shocked at the ages at which females were betrothed/married off/killed in childbirth. It seems a tendency for youth was pretty universal back then, regardless of the genders involved.

What is 'inherent to homosexuality' then? Other than that the attraction, sex, relationship and etc is to or with someone of the same sex? Isn't homosexuality just a category of a type of attraction?
