In fact, one might say that you are making light of those who really do have phobias. A phobia can be life threatening. I've seen it in action with a friend and it's not pretty. You should have a bit more respect for the condition and not contort it so badly to fit your political/social agenda.

You're construing "phobia" in a very narrow clinical sense. That's not what it means in the word homophobia. Homophobia is more a general fear of homosexuality, not an acute clinical fear of homosexuals. Homophobia is more akin to xenophobia than it is to arachnophobia.
Homophobes are people who fear homosexuality and fear the acceptance of homosexuality. You can tell a homophobe by his actions: he fights against the acceptance of homosexuality. He supports laws that discriminate against homosexuals for instance.
1. Willful murder.
2. The sin of Sodom.
3. Oppressing the poor.
4. Defrauding working men of their just wages.
All of these are sadly prevalent in the United States, but only one of these is threatening to become institutionalized today: the sin of Sodom, in the form of same-sex "marriage".
Same-sex "marriage" is not a mere trifle. If institutionalized it will turn our civilization inside-out. Although abortion (i.e., "willful murder") is arguably a greater evil, most citizens can at least avoid complicity. Not so with same-sex "marriage". Everyone from county clerks to school teachers, from insurance salesmen to commercial printers, from caterers to photographers, from journalists to secretaries, from social workers to health care professionals, etc. etc. ad infinitum, will be forced - on pain of legal sanctions, loss of employment, or social marginalization - to confess that unmarried people are married, that lies are truth, that unreality is reality; and to cooperate with and facilitate the whole damnable charade. This is the textbook definition of tyranny. Men and women of conscience, who refuse to lie or pretend for anyone, will eventually be deprived of their livelihoods.
"How Same-Sex 'Marriage' Suffocates Freedom" by Bryce Christensen outlines the process:
"For those trying to enshrine the notion of same-sex 'marriage' in law are not primarily trying to enlarge the freedom of homosexuals; they are primarily striving to diminish the freedom of skeptics who would deny that the union of homosexuals is—or can ever be—a legitimate marriage. The aim of those trying to inscribe the novelty of homosexual marriage in law is actually that of making an outlaw out of anyone who would question the moral substance of this new social construct and the sexual behaviors it legitimates."
Do you love your country? If you do, you will do everything in your power to oppose the insidious totalitarian trojan horse (no pun intended) of same-sex "marriage". And by that I mean insisting that government acknowledge the metaphysical reality of marriage as it actually exists - the union of one man and one woman established for the procreation of children, the mutual help of spouses, and the prevention of concupiscence.
God wasn't married to MAry, but he still impregnated her.
Think about it. Did he really care about the 'sanctity of marriage?" He got a married woman pregant, and didn't even bother to let her husband know he was dropping by.
Then again, if he could create life.... like in the beginning of the Bible, why didn't he just create Jesus. He had to bang some Middle Eastern chick. So, basically, you can make a woman from a rib..... but you gotta get a woman pregnant to make another kid?
This does not compute.
PS. IF you hate gays, hate people that eat seafood. Same chapter of the bible.

Okay, so is someone's not being comfortable with the act of homosexuality "homophobic" in your opinion?
I know you're not asking me, but my answer to this question is no. Being uncomfortable with homosexual sex acts is not sufficient to make one homophobic.
