Entomophobia
Entomophobia (also known as insectophobia) is a specific phobia characterized by an excessive or unrealistic fear of one or more classes of insect, and classified as a phobia by the DSM-5. More specific cases included apiphobia (fear of bees) and myrmecophobia (fear of ants). One book claims 6% of all US inhabitants suffer from it.
Entomophobia develops at an early age and is quite common among the animal phobias. Typically one suffers from a fear from one specific type of insect, and entomophobia leads to behavioral changes: the sufferer will avoid situations where they may encounter the specific type of insect. Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered an effective treatment.

Distorts your twisted values.
Break your ancient chains.
And part with the ways of the past.
You don't have the right.
To force you own opinion.
You don't understand.
So you have to lash out.
Anti - homophobe.
We believe in freedom.
Whatever turns you on.
Life is short and full of woe.
So you have yourself a blast.
I may not be gay.
But I don't care if you are.
Live your life in peace.
