That's an expression of negative feelings or i would argue prejudice thus by definition a homophobe as it's not just hate or fear it's any irrational disapproval toward the act/person . More double speak by the religious to wallow away their ideologies inherent bigotry .
And no don't try the bullshit of comparing your condemnation of homosexuality to something like gambling or murder etc.None of those is equal to a persons sexual identity and even trying to compare the two is itself hateful .
No... you are wrong. I'm not prejudice, fearful, or hateful of people with same sex attraction. I do think that homosexual activity is wrong and a sin. You are being fairly negative towards my beliefs right now, would you consider yourself phobic. You can disagree, and say that I am wrong, but that doesn't make you a bigot. It is intolerance towards those with differing opinions that makes you a bigot.
And just to note. While it may have wormed it's way into the definition, I think that this ambiguity is still a misuse of the word. I also think that it stems from deceptive tactics and is not an enhancement of the language. I don't consider myself phobic in any sense of that word in regards to homosexuals. And if you are using the word homophobic in regards to me, then I'm likely to ask you to clarify it each and every time. Just a heads up.
