Roger Helmer, representante da região de East Midlands na comitiva britânica do Parlamento Europeu, declarou em seu blog que “O termo ‘homofobia’ não se refere a medo irracional de gays.
«Ninguém tem medo irracional de gays; “homofobia” é meramente um instrumento de propaganda, criado para estigmatizar aqueles que têm opiniões conservadoras – as mesmas que a maior parte do mundo tem tido ao longo da História. Isso é uma evidência assustadora do quanto a tirania do ‘politicamente correto’ ameaça nossa liberdade».
Roger Helmer escreveu no seu blogue e neste postal:
«And while we’re mentioning semantic issues, let me point out that the neologism “homophobia” is not so much a word as a political agenda. In psychiatry, a phobia is defined as an irrational fear. I have yet to meet anyone who has an irrational fear of homosexuals, or of homosexuality. So to the extent that the word has any meaning at all, it describes something which simply does not exist.
A ler:
“Homophobia” is merely a propaganda device designed to denigrate and stigmatise those holding conventional opinions, which have been held by most people through most of recorded history. It is frightening evidence of the way in which political correctness is threatening our freedom.»
