Re: Unidentified subject! --defining our terms

[eevans@moscow.com]

That web site lists two definitions. The first was by the George Weinberg who 
coined the homophobia term in the late 1960s. It was "...heterosexuals' dread 
of being in close quarters with homosexuals as well as homosexuals' self 
loathing."
The second comes from the 1992 American Standard Dictionary, which calls it 
an "aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture."

Which version does the WSU Safe Zone card refer to?
