Some ideas on editing and so on, to reduce the current wall-of-textness:

1. The introductory paragraph has a long digression about the history and troubles with the term itself. I believe that discussion can be simply omitted here, or moved to a [[note]note since it's not critical to the concept].

2. The text has several examples, eg the ones about religious texts and authorites, or about Hugh Jackman, that I think can be omitted. Not that they aren't true, but because I think they act as further digressions.

3. I think the text misses one key area, and that is a further discussion about homophobia in the queer community. It is mentioned a bit, but the transgender and -sexual members has suffered a lot under that.

That said, I think you've done a fabulous job so far, 69BookWorM69. I set up a [[Sandbox/{{Homophobia}} sandbox]] where we can work on further editing easier than in the YKTTW format.

I also still think an index page would be very very useful, with a shortened introduction to the concept. That would lessen the need to be concise in a page of useful notes.
