意味（1）

Acceptance of homosexuality as long as it remains a private issue.

The intellectual Daniel Borrillo refers to liberal homophobia as that which accepts homosexuality so long as it is not discussed. This type of homophobia is represented in phrases like, 'I don't care what anyone does in private so long as they don't tell me about it'. In the professional world, this is crystallized in the recently abolished slogan of the US army: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'.
