    As for infecting her staffers can you link what you were referring to? I can only find 1 article and it's from a not so trustworthy source, and even the details in it don't really seem coherent.
    The closest thing to a trustworthy source that covered it is People magazine which, I grant, isn't the highest quality publication out there.

    http://www.people.com/article/hillar...sick-pneumonia
    At least half a dozen senior staff were felled, including campaign manager Robby Mook. Two top advisers even needed emergency medical treatment, the source says. One top adviser diagnosed at a Brooklyn urgent-care center with a respiratory infection was being treated with antibiotics in the days before Clinton's diagnosis. Another top adviser was taken by ambulance to the ER by ambulance after collapsing from what turned out to be severe dehydration, the source said.

    Phobia is actually better established given it has more than 10 years of history on tumblr plus psychological research backing and DSM/APA standards behind it.

    Instead of fringe groups fighting for the "rights" for everyone or everything they pick favorites. That is where they make their mistakes. If they were more inclusive they may get more "rights" for everyone not just for themselves.
    Umm, Yes it is. The supreme court has deemed it a right in 15 cases now. http://afer.org/blog/14-supreme-cour...amental-right/ From 1888 til the one that legalized gay marriage.

    Jesus christ this thread is exactly what is wrong with the political system right now. This is a hillary clinton thread and instead of discussing clinton policies we have people bickering about the definition of homophobia lol.

    Homophobia has quite a lot more than 10 years on Tumblr. It's a phrase I've heard basically my whole life.

    And it doesn't matter, unless you don't think words can change. Gay mean "happy" far longer than it has meant "homosexual," after all.

    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    If that wasn't your implication, what was?

    Should I have just used the word bigoted instead? Since we seems to be getting hung up on homophobic?

    Not that make it any better for the purposes of the original statement.

    Funny, when I type in that phrase google suggests health problems, health video.

    Not sure why people post things so easily debunked. Also, aren't suggested searches tailored based on your browsing history and the like -- IE locally generated not universal for all users?

    Google filters out controversy. This has been covered many times, even in this thread I'm sure.

    I think if she's been taking anitbiotics she's probably not contagious either. I think Hillary's a pretty awful person, but there's nothing to make me think that she'd do anything to endanger her grandchildren, or anyone else's children either.

    Me either. That is why it's an obvious lie that she had pneumonia.

    Seems to be the first time Republicans have expressed concerns about Womens' Health.

    Or, like I said, her doctor told her that she's not contagious.

    How about just anti-gay? It's even less syllables!
