This guy is a leftist gay from the UK but once you get past the politically loaded word 'homophobe' it is a good article and more honest than you will normally ever get from guys of this persuasion.

And the author deserves credit for calling 'homphobia' a misnomer.

That is to say, that 'homphobia' is applied to feelings which are not fear, but disgust, and therefore not a 'phobia.'

And in other cases where it is fear, this fear is not irrational, and thus once again not a 'phobia.'

Allow me to amend that last sentence to

"And in certain other cases where it is fear, this fear is not irrational, and thus once again not a 'phobia.'"

There are certainly cases where the term 'homophobia' is technically correct.
