Not at all. I got the feeling that you were ignoring the "irrational" part of the definition. I have simply never met anyone with an irrational fear of homosexuals or homosexuality.

I don't know anyone that actually fears them.

Apparently you very much are because you, along with millions of other gays don't understand what homophobic actually means... you also use it against people who do understand what it truly means and they laugh at your ignorance.

When you look up a dictionary, make sure you read past the first word you come across. Okay?

Thinking homosexuality is wrong doesn't mean one's afraid of homosexuals.

See you are even more confused, I have never read any book against Homosexuals I base my opinion on common sense not some black birds and gut worms or nut cases at the APA.

This is true.
No one refers to anyone as heterophobic; fear of heterosexuals.

It is a ridiculous term used by the far left with an agenda.

Homophobia is about more than just being "afraid" of homosexuals. And even "afraid" has multiple meanings. But at least a considerable number of people with dislike for, hatred of, aversion against homosexuality or homosexuals are in that position from being afraid of their lifestyle encroaching theirs. No?
