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.[/b]
I hear you. According to the Oxford dictionary the term "Homo-" with the definition of "same" comes in at number three.

Number one is:

ho·mo 1 (n).
A member of the genus Homo, which includes the extinct and extant species of humans

and number two:

ho·mo 2 (n.)
A homosexual
