Je li hrvatski parlament homofobičan?
Is the Croatian Parliament Homophobic?

Summary/Abstract: The author outlines different understandings of homophobia, from the original meaning of an irrational fear homosexuals and homosexuality, to a more recent one in which it is equated with racism and antisemitism. Kurelić argues that the term is vague and politically counterproductive. By analyzing the debate on The Law on Registered Partnership in the Croatian parliament (Sabor), the author shows why, in his opinion, the Croatian parliament cannot be labeled homophobic, and why the concept of homophobia should be used only for serious manifestations of this phobia.
