Reply to comment by askmeaboutmysciatica in Ivan Provorov refuses to wear Pride Night-themed warmup jersey Philadelphia Flyers | TSN by abunchofjerks

Tell me how this makes him homophobic? Phobic or Phobia means to have an irrational fear of something. I don’t think the man is afraid of anything pertaining to LQ+ culture. He simply doesn’t agree with the culture for religious reasons. His opinion is his. We don’t need to label him.🙄

"homophobia is the fear, hatred, discomfort with, or mistrust of people who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual". The Latin Root of part of the word doesn't define the whole contextually...

Lol semantics. You obviously know what homophobic means in the current world, yet you try deflect from the issue. That's like me saying "but gay means happy, not homosexual"

The dude won’t show solidarity with gay ppl because he thinks there’s something wrong with being gay, if that’s not homophobia what is?
