Most of my edits were for grammar and clarity. I do make two quick requests:
1. Please, cite your statements. I've no doubt that each and every citation I've marked can be cited, but uncited material can be deleted at any time. The previous version had only one citation, but three distinct thoughts on the term, by three distinct sources.
2. Please do not argue the definition or accuracy of the term "homophobia" in and of itself. If your source feels this is an issue, say so, site it, and move on. Otherwise, it's original research, and extraneous OR at that. The phobia page already clarifies that it's not a scientific term, and insisting on the "proper" definition of homophobia as only a fear of homosexuals, is insisting that hemophiliacs are sexually aroused by blood. English is a poor language for stabilized definitions or accurate use of root terms, and so this is an argument that cannot be won. If your sources say that this is their reasonings, however, then that is itself inarguable.
