Campophobia
The act of disliking people whom act camp.
It is common for someone who dislikes a camp persons behaviour to be criticized for being homophobic, particularly if the person behaving camp is homosexual. However more often than not, it is not that the person dislikes that they are homosexual, it is that they do not like the hightened, over-the-top, feminine behaviour. Rather than a person being wrongly criticized for being homosexual, the term campophobia can be used.
