Hot from a tog on BBC Radio 2's Terry Wogan programme:

homo and phobia are from two Greek words. homo means the same and phobia means fear, not hatred. Logically therefore homophobia is fear of (being) the same, not hatred of gay people.

Over to you, Deeej and cossie.

Hugs
Nigel

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
