Anything that inconveniences a gay person

Get the Homophobicmug. "Homophobe" is a neologism used by gay rights advocates to describe anybody who does not like homosexuality. It is a stupid and poorly-conceived term for several reasons:
1. It implies that the person that it is applied to is afraid of homosexuals. Of course, hardly anyone actually is.
2. It shows a stunning amount of ignorance on the person who invented it. Literally translated, it means "fear of the same"(it can also mean "fear of humans" when interpreted as a bastard mix of Latin and Greek. By this definition, nearly all wild animals are homophobic).
3. It is extremely overused by people who don't have a clue about what they're talking about(e.g. "The Bible is homophobic because it says that gays should be burned!").
4. It has needlessly negative connotations(most likely stemming from the -phobe suffix). If somebody does not think that homosexuality is a good thing, how is that actually wrong?
Needless to say, it is a pointless - yet overused - political buzzword that has no basis in reality, and usage should be avoided.

Guy 1: Man, I'll never be gay. It's just...GAY.
Guy 2: HOMOPHOBE!
Guy 1: That is the gayest word ever. I have to go now, South Park's on.

Get the homophobemug. A conjunction of the two Greek words:
Homo - meaning ‘the same’
(as opposed to hetero - meaning ‘different’)
In this context it is an abbreviation of homosexual (one who is attracted to another of the same sex).
And Phobos - the personification of Fear in Greek mythology. In English a ‘phobia’ has come to mean an irrational fear or aversion.
It therefore is used to describe anything opposed to same-sex coupling.

“Can someone be homophobic to a lesbian?”
“Sure, although many think that “homo” comes from the Latin for “Man”, it actually comes from the Greek for ‘same’”

Get the Homophobemug. According to many politically correct liberals today, just about anyone who uses the term fag, gay, or homo instead of Homosexual. This makes most teenagers who ever existed homophobes. Otherwise, a person who is made uncomfortable by gays because they find gay sex to be gross

Get the homophobicmug. Another attempt by liberals to cause yet more damage to and further destroy society.They only ever deceieve the public into accepting their poisonous ideas by negating all debate and discussion by "labelling" and "demonizing" their opponent.
In other words all liberals know how to do is name call.

I had been labeled a "homophobe", an epithet which — with the help of its pseudo-scientific Latin suffix — conveniently renders pathological all deviations from the orthodox.
