This should mean someone who's afraid of sameness, or afraid of humans. Instead, it means someone who hates homosexuals (but may or may not actually be afraid of them).
"Why were they gay-bashing?"
"Because they're homophobes."
"But if they're scared of gays, why didn't they run screaming at the sight of them?"
"I didn't come up with the term!"

Get the Homophone mug.
Differently spelled words that pronounce exactly the same.
Some common homophones include
- there, their, they’re
- your, you’re
- taught, taut, tot
- aunt, ant
- for, four, fore
- break, brake
- scent, cent, sent
- weather, whether
An alarmingly significant chunk of the English-speaking population seems to struggle with homophonic words, age surprisingly not playing a major factor.
Having the ability to correctly use homophones is a skill that’s heavily unappreciated and seems to be dying off slowly. Therefore, if one encounters an individual with such a rare skill, realize how potentially valuable that individual may be. This is especially true for younger people. In a world where smartphones autocorrect wrong spelling but fail to autocorrect wrong homophone usage, this is a skill that should be highly valued.
