Someone who dislikes gay people for no apparent reason, except that they are true to what they are. Most homophobes are uneducated and have probably never met anyone gay. They are bigoted, which automatically means they are unpleasant people.

Get the homophobe mug.Someone who is afraid or offended by so-deemed "homophobes." First, let me state that "homophobe" actually means "fear of sameness," but of course, stupid people have corrupted its meaning. A more accurate word would be "homophiliphobe" but we can't expect any intelligence in this debate anyway.
Now, a lot of people throwing around the term "homophobe" are morons and ignorant in and of themselves. Please read this "definition" of homophobia:
"Someone who dislikes gay people for no apparent reason, except that they are true to what they are. Most homophobes are uneducated and have probably never met anyone gay. They are bigoted, which automatically means they are unpleasant people."
Right, that's not ignorant at all, since it's been scientifically proven that all homosexuals are "true to who they are," where as straight people (aka the devil) are not. Thanks for clarifying that.
In short, though there are some people who have extremely and inexplicably ignorant views of homosexuals, the opposite is also true.

Get the homophobe mug.Supposedly meaning 'fear of homosexuality,' homophobia's colloquial and rhetorical effect is often closer to that of 'disagreement with homosexuality.' According to its chief proponents, these two meanings are nearly synonymous, while those labeled as such claim that it is a misnomer intended to libel or slander those in disagreement with a particular lifestyle.
1. Homophobic person: If someone gay touches me, I'll kill them.

Treating someone who feels sexual orientation can fluctuate with hormones or drug content with prejudice and stigma, or stereotyping as a religious bigot, even when zhe does not fear or hate homosexuals and is not necessarily spiritually inclined, religiously inclined, or both. This is the most common form of homophobephobia.
