That is not my understanding of homophobia though DM.
Quote:
Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
Now do you see why i was confused (not senile as you suggested) at you asking Tabs such a question?
Obviously you haven’t been “ shocked rigid” by a seagull swooping down in full flight on you and taking your food ? I have ! Not excusing the man but maybe he was so shocked his reaction was to do what he did with it . Or he might have spent his last on that donut ?
No need to check if a gull guilty of attacking a human being because that’s precisely what it is …and has been well reported in the press ……is ok ….it can fend for itself …or not .
Oh, understandable misunderstanding then Mups,(if that is
understandable??!!)
But the word homophobia comes from the the Greek word" Homo"
and " phobia"! Homo meaning people or human! and phobia
meaning fear of or dislike !
Thus , dislike of humans !!
As they say in the books( the Greeks have a word for it !!)

It is always difficult, tackling a Jail Bird.
Anthropophobia is the correct definition I think ?
I agree Zuleika, l believe l posted a similar text to you too ?
Donkeyman!
D. Man!
Yes, could be Zuleika ?
Anthropos is people in Greek !
Hence, pithecanthropus erectus means first erect ape/ human ?
BTW, l am not a Greek or Greek scholar, but l had the good fortune
to marry a Greek, and l also have an interest in early mankind !!

Wow over a doughnut. Not sure about confronting him, especially since he continued eating the doughnut (not going to was your hands at least). :shock::!::!: My inclination would have been to grab him by the neck and then throw him off the pier.
What!!
Just over a doughnut Danny ??
obviously you would wash your hands before scoffing it though
wouldn’t you ??
Donkeyman!
Obviously I don’t eat after the local wildlife. Part of being top of the food chain and all that. (sarcasm must not translate to text well.)
Tell that to a lion Danny !!
Donkeyman!
Lions are lovely, Donkeyman, but I do prefer Tigers - just big pussy cats really.
Hi Easy to say online, but would you have been capable of it?
It takes years of training to keep yourself safe whilst stopping others from inflicting harm.
Can you seriously take on someone you know know nothing about and expect to walk away?
That’s the chance everyone takes, even you. Most people front it out and those that look the maddest normally win.
Yes , l agree Tabby , tigers are magnificent !!
But we were talking about sea gulls and and their thieving ways
and how best to disgorge them ??
Donkeyman!
Well looking at the video the do nut man looked quite a pacif guy
to me?
every move he made was done slowly and with care, no signs of
frenzy or anger at all?
Even when he released the gull he threw it gently and in an upward
direction !!
If someone had confronted him he would probably have explained
his actions in a decent manner as well ??
Donkeyman!
Donkeyman, I am beginning to wonder if that was YOU with that seagull!
You seem to be defending him an awful lot. 
Ha! Ha! Mups!!
No, I am only defending what l pecieve as a poor downtrodden soul
defending his breakfast ?
There were so many posts abusing and castigating him on this
forum that l felt he needed a bit of help ??
Protector of the downtrodden, that’s me !!
