It's the kind of fear that makes you create a fantasy in which you are superior to the group you are fearful of. With your imaginary superiority in place, the object of your fear becomes less than human and therefore worthy of contempt, even hatred. As inferior beings, they don't deserve the same rights as you, just for starters. As Maurice pointed out, this is also called "bigotry." Homophobia is not the kind of fear that makes you run away.

Homophobes are those who are SCARED of homosexuals. It's an extremely weak argument to say that anybody who thinks homosexuality is wrong is automatically a homophobe. I know homosexuality is wrong, but I'm definitely not scared of them. If you're going to debate, at least debate intelligently. If you have to resort to character assassination, you've lost. Hahahahaha.
