Another thought  is describing the word as a neologism superfluous perhaps Ive always been an advocate of approaching writing a Wikipedia article as if everything youre writing about happened a thousand years ago and is ancient history because it seems to me thats the proper style for an encyclopaedia which is intended to be timeless and authoritative Neologism is an inescapably relative word  all words are neologisms looked at from one perspective in time soon after they are invented All the words Shakespeare invented would be neologisms if you lived in  for instance I sincerely hope this page will be around in some form in another hundred years at which point homophobia will no longer be a neologism I think its probably sufficient simply to say when and by whom the term was coined Comments
