Define homophobia.

The word does have an interesting history. It was coined by the psychologist George Weinberg in the 1960s and first appeared in print on May 23, 1969 where it was used, according to Wikipedia, “to refer to heterosexual men’s fear that others might think they are gay.” That’s actually kind of interesting since it’s not exactly fear of homosexuals by heterosexuals but fear experienced by some heterosexuals about what other people might think about them.

Also, although the Greek word phobia can mean “fear,” it can also just mean “aversion” (i.e. a strong dislike) which describes what I think most most people nowadays think that this word means, namely “an aversion towards or strong dislike of homosexuality.”

That I didn’t know. But it has become the accepted definition nevertheless.
 
I suggest you read the title of these forums and study Catholic moral theology before posting again.

In my opinion, your daughter is very likely to meet gay people, to have friends with gay family members, so, I do not think it is the end of the world if she sees a cartoon where two talking aardvarks who are males marry each other

End of the world, probably not. But there is no doubt that the show’s creators are trying to normalize homosexual relationships in people’s minds, and the best way to do that is to start when they are very young, such as the target audience of “Arthur,” who are toddlers and preschoolers. That is not okay, and as a parent, I wouldn’t sit back and let it happen.
 
Would you prefer, “those who, under the influence of the devil, relentlessly and persistently push the homosexual agenda?”
That’s exactly what the term means to me, and exactly what I mean by it.

I’m sorry. I thought you were asking about confirmation about empathy in children. It seems you don’t think it necessary to follow the conversation. You’d rather discuss theology. No problem.

If by ‘normalise’ you mean to illustrate the way the world is, then at what age do you think it appropriate?
 
I don’t confuse empathy with enabling and celebrating and recognizing as virtuous. But these are the goals of those pushing the homosexual agenda on children.

No, by normalize, I mean continually trying to push the idea that homosexual behavior is normal and healthy, which unfortunately it is not.

Certainly it is not appropriate to introduce a homosexual wedding in a show for little children. Ideally, a parent ought to be able to trust that a TV show rated Y (“Young,” for young children) contains harmless, innocuous content, rather than content that may force them to explain mature adult concepts before they are ready. Though clearly, that is not that case anymore.

I really will insist that you stop wasting my time making statements that have zero application to anything previously posted.

According to the Collins dictionary:

homosexualist in British​

(ˌhɒməˈsɛkʃʊəlɪst)

noun

an old-fashioned name for a homosexual

I thought you just preferred that old-fashioned British word for a homosexual.

Please stop coming on Catholic forums trying to spread ideas that are contrary to Catholic moral theology.

So if two animals get married in a Disney film, there’s nothing to explain? Well take the opportunity as it presents itself. Birds and bees as it were.

‘When two people love each other very much…’ What you explain from there on in is your choice.
