"Homophobe" is a neologism used by gays and gay rights activists to describe anybody who does not like homosexuality. It is a stupid and poorly-conceived term for several reasons:
1. It implies that the person that it is applied to is afraid of homosexuals. Of course, hardly anyone actually is.
2. It shows a stunning amount of ignorance on the person who invented it. Literally translated, it means "fear of the same"(it can also mean "fear of humans" when interpreted as a bastard mix of Latin and Greek. By this definition, nearly all wild animals are homophobic).
3. It is extremely overused by people who don't have a clue about what they're talking about(e.g. "The Bible is homophobic because it says that gays should be burned!").
4. It has needlessly negative connotations(most likely stemming from the -phobe suffix). If somebody(e.g. me) does not think that homosexuality is a good thing, how is that wrong?
Needless to say, it is a pointless - yet overused - political buzzword that has no basis in reality, and usage should be avoided.

It mean somebody who fears homosexual or gay people. People misuse this word. They think it means that a person hates gays. It doesn't you idiot. I don't think anyone is scared of gays. At least I'm not.
I am a homophobic, so whenever I am around one I always shiver up, and then I call the police.
