Someone who says they are "not a homophobe" but simply "don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle."
Oxford Dictionary defines a homophobe as someone that "has a dislike or prejudice against homosexual people." Because of this, people often try to ascertain that they are "not a homophobe" because they simply "do not hate gay people, only disagree with their "lifestyle."" This definition defines that in order to be homophobic, one must possess a sense of hatred or disliking, opposed to only disagreeing.
discount homophobes are people who are homophobic to a lesser extent than the Dictionary definition entails, and thus wish to remove themselves from the label of "homophobe" to feel good about themselves despite still having homophobic attitudes, though they are gentler than the dictionary definition entails.. The term "discount" in discount homophobe comes from the idea that this form of homophobia is much less extreme than hate-level homophobia, thus being "discount."
synonyms: diet homophobe, gentle homophobe, soft homophobe
