Define Homophobia Meaning

An irrational fear of going home.
Homophob(ic) one who is reluctant for the evening to end and finally go home and face what is/not there.
Can describe one who is aware that 'home is not where the heart is, but where the tax bill is' and is reluctant to cross that threshold.

SHOULD mean:

1. fear of things that are the same

if you look at the basic meanings of its Greek roots:
Homo=same
Phobos=fear

but in everyday usage means:

2. fear of homosexuals

Or, possibly:

3. condition where one person has the same fears as someone else

homo pho preference other than victual

A severe condition, usually prominent in Republicans and most of American culture, leading one to:
- innacurately use bible quotings for the justification of killing homosexuals
- restrict the rights of millions
- hide in their rooms crying if they looked at the nude body of one of the same gender and did not vomit
- insessantly call things "Gay"

Fear that gay people will become as promiscuous as the Mormons reputedly are, thus shutting down the sanctity of the entire institution of marriage, the latter being strongly tied to religious reasoning (though religion itself should not be to blame; people of all walks support the Faith and none should be disrespected for it)

Also fear that your friend might actually be happier kicking it with some sweet, awesome guy instead of saying smack about that one girl whom your group of friends talks about as if she were a slut. Goodness forbid your friend should be happier being in love with a man instead of trying to get in her pants.

Don't hate. Remember the Civil Rights Movement? Remember the struggles blacks went through so they wouldn't be disrespected anymore in public? This is the exact same thing. Remember the discrimination post-911 that Muslims went through in the US? Was that just? No. Just because "fag", "nigga", and "a-rab" are popularized terms, doesn't make them right.

Dislike, fear, hatred, and/or disapproval of gays and/or homosexuality, often (but not always) for religious reasons or because of insecurity about one's sexual orientation.

an extreme or irrational fear of similarity.

Every one knows Homo in Latin means "one" and Phobia means "fear of" in Latin, thus a homophobia obviously means the dreaded fear of the number one.

Homophobia by definition is an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people, or a fear of homosexuals. When in reality, it isnt a fear. You arent scared of gay people. You are just an asshole.

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.
