>You haven't proven that

For fuck's sake.

>Fone reveals how and why same-sex desire has long been the object of legal, social, religious, and political persecution.

Look at the word in bold you big fucking dummy. Persecution is an infinitely broader concept than irrational fear. It is looking at the persecution of same sex relationships and using "homophobia" as a catch all title. I do not get why you are making this so fucking difficult. "-phobia" has, for a long fucking time, been used in various political contexts to refer to persecution that doesn't necessarily stem from irrational fear. It took me twenty seconds to find an example. For your sake, here's another:

>even addressing it as part of the problem justifies the title under the old definition.

But that's true of this definition of Islamophobia too.

>titles aren't 100% accurate representation of a book.

No, they're just hand-picked by the author for the sake of summarizing what the book is about.
