* Creator/HPLovecraft was infamous for his powerful fear and disgust for anything outside the limited sphere of an urban WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant of his time, as he was agoraphobic and suffered from severe anxiety. He more or less [[FormerBigot grew past his prejudices]] (even marrying a Jewish woman) and came to believe that all races were equal, but shouldn't mix due to cultural incompatibilities [[ValuesDissonance (which was still somewhat progressive for his time period)]].

It's usually not very funny when a character reeks of prejudice, bigotry, discrimination and so on against a certain category of people. The phenomenon is called racism when it's against a race or ethnic group, homophobia when it's against homosexuals, and so on... but wait a moment! The word "homophobia" has "phobia" as part of the word! Let's just roll with that, and portray homophobia as if it was an actual clinical phobia. HilarityEnsues as the character runs around full of irrational fear of homosexuals, Muslims, Christians, transgender people or whatever category of people.[[note]]If you want to get technical, the word "phobia" has not always meant "fear of", it originally was translated as "fear or hatred of".[[/note]]

* The now-defunct [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense "gay panic" defense]] for hate crimes, and similar "trans panic". Both hinge on the idea that a cisgender heterosexual man would be unable to control themself if their status as such was threatened (with a helping of unfortunate stereotypes that trans woman are trying to "trick" people thrown in). Having both officially banned in the US is a persistent issue for LGBTQ+ rights movements.
