Just a question... wouldn't the proper definition of "homophobia" be fear of people with similar tastes?
"Homo" means "same" and "phobia" means "fear of." I know that the definition you posted is widely accepted and pretty clear... I was just pointing out that the widely used term is not quite correct. People should use "homosexualphobia" instead.
