I can't stand the word "homophobic". It's just plain stupid and misused. I've thought that, too. "Homophobic" really means "fear of man."
I guess the proper term would be "Queerophobic?" ;-)

I guess the proper term would be "Queerophobic?" ;-) How about heterophilic? Phobic indicates an unreasoned fear, not the commonplace distaste, disgust, or instinctive avoidance.

I've thought that, too. "Homophobic" really means "fear of man." Actually "homophobic" literally means "fear of same."

I guess the proper term would be "Queerophobic?" ;-) Or "Queerodisgustic"?
