Hey, so these are the glossary definitions in a new book about gay rights for young people. 1. Note how gay and lesbian are defined by attraction to gender. 2. The term homosexual is curiously absent, but heterosexual makes the cut. 3. Homophobia makes gay people “uncomfortable,” but transphobia is linked to violence.

Actually, their definition of homophobia doesn't include the word gay. It's about straight people making "queer" people feel unsafe. And what is queer? Everyone! Asexuals, graysexuals, nonbinaries, demiboys, genderfluids, etc.

  1. Homophobia makes gay people “uncomfortable,” but transphobia is linked to violence.
