As for the thread, I don’t think the bigotry of homophobia and arachnophobia can be compared since Emma defined a bigot as a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others. Arachnids don’t have opinions. Well, that Charlotte did but she was a quite exceptional web-spinner chapette.
prejudice • noun 1 preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience. 2 unjust behaviour formed on such a basis. 3 chiefly Law harm that may result from some action or judgement.
tolerant • adjective 1 showing tolerance. 2 able to endure specified conditions or treatment.
intolerant 2 unable endure specified conditions or treatment.You cant have a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience of spiders?
You cant be unable to endure specified conditions or treatment of spiders?
You can, so if being homophobic means your a bigot, the same applies to people who suffer from Arachnophobia.

Owen, wheres the hatred in homophobia?
Why do you think gay people, the media and white liberals call homophobic people bigot’s?
I already answered that when I stated that the term homophobe is misused.
Your saying that hating someones sexuality, is bigotry.
Is homophobia, hatred of homosexuality?
If not, then bigotry is not hatred.

To me (stuff the dictionary) Bigot = ignorant!
ignorant • adjective 1 lacking knowledge or awareness in general. 2 (often ignorant of) uninformed about or unaware of a specific subject or fact. 3 informal rude; discourteous.
Being a bigot doesn’t mean your ignorant. If you dont go on the dictionary, what language you speaking? Every word you use above, is in the dictionary…
I know of some gay males, and one in particular, he’s an absolutely brilliant friend, would do just about anything for you, and helped me out once when no one else could or would.
What i dont like about him, and most gay males is the way they talk, its so lar de dar, it turns me off them completly. Another, is man on man sex acts.
Im quite happy to be called anything for not liking gay men in that way.
It is then also bigotry when a gay man doesn’t like hetrosexual sexuality, or a specific way they behave, and that is the case, because they dont have hetrosexual sex.
We have a problem in society, its about defending minorities regardless of what majorities feel. “we” dont mind upsetting majorities for the sake of minorities, thats WRONG! You can defend all people without upsetting anyone in the process.
If homophobia is bigotry, then those who dont like George bush, bin laden, plain flavoured crisps, Accrington Stanley FC, are bigot’s.

Your confusing me now owen.
Bigot:
“a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others.”You said
Bigotry has everything to do with hating someone solely because of their sexuality.prejudice • noun 1 preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience. 2 unjust behaviour formed on such a basis. 3 chiefly Law harm that may result from some action or judgement.
• verb 1 give rise to prejudice in (someone); make biased. 2 chiefly Law cause harm to (a state of affairs)
tolerant • adjective 1 showing tolerance. 2 able to endure specified conditions or treatment.
Wheres the hatred?

Bigotry has everything to do with hating someone solely because of their sexuality.
So Arachnophobia is bigotry? Someone who dislikes spiders, is a bigot?
HOW MANY PEOPLE DISLIKE SPIDERS, come on, hands up? Who dislikes anything?
bigot, bigot, bigot….theres millions of bigots.
