The whole "thou doth protest too loud" is foreign to my thought process.

I hate the NY Jets. I tell everyone. Does that mean I secretly dream of Rex Ryan's feet?

You saying he's now a "wide receiver"?

Not unrelated. If you notice the trend, it's usually (at least to me) the irrational public stances that gain that sort of attention, primarily because no one can come up with a rational reason for someone to care so much.

There's a rational reason to be against child violation, elderly woman murder, burglary etc. So people who make a public stance against it don't usually get labeled as closeted forms of whatever they're against (until it actually turns out they were... old drug addict friend of mine made sure he was the drug sergeant for his national guard platoon so he knew when the piss tests were coming... but that's another story).

If you make a public stance against women wearing high-heels, try to pass legislature banning the sale of high heels and the public exhibition of high heels... well, people might start to wonder why it is so important to you that you never see high heels on the street.

Not enough belly in the way.

I admit it. :)
I'm afraid prolonged exposure to idiots will turn me into one.

Poor high-heel analogy aside, you make a good point.
But it doesn't justify the incorrect terminology of "phobia".

It's akin to calling someone a racist because they voted for McCain last election. It's a tremendous assumption that is all-too often entirely off base.
It's an obvious over-compensation.
And it not only fails to properly define a person, but also creates additional animosity.

Face it. The term was coined to p*ss people off.
