Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how homophobe appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Il n'est pas besoin, pour être homophobe, de médire des homos, il suffit de ne pas reconnaître assez haut leur droit à la différence ; on est même hétérosexiste, dès lors qu'on fait semblant d'ignorer l'existence des homosexuels.
Bien qu'un certain flou et de profonds désaccords subsistent dans ce domaine, la présente publication entend démontrer qu'une bonne part du droit international vise à protéger les jeunes LGBT contre les brimades homophobes et transphobes.
