We do not have an irrational "fear" of homosexuality or homosexuals, which is what the coined term "homophobia" would mean.
Most of us do not care what homosexuals do in their own private lives, but we refuse to sanction their behaviors, which many of us believe are psychologically abnormal.
We refuse to "celebrate" homosexuality as a lifestyle, despite how "hip" it's portrayed in popular culture.
20 years ago, homosexuals were on the fringes of society. Cultural conservatives were slammed for pointing out "slippery slopes" in accepting their behavior.
30 years ago, homosexuality was not mentioned in routine parlance. One didn't see homosexual references in popular culture; you would be discharged from the military, as homosexual behavior (even if you didn't "tell" about it) was considered a UCMJ offense. It was also considered a liability in terms of a security clearance.
Any longer than that, homosexuality was considered deviant and grossly unnatural. Nothing has changed in the past few decades, other than the constant reminder in pop culture and in media that gays are now considered "cool." No thank you, I'm not sold.

Sodomy nazis invented the word “homophobia” to disparage and prevent rational thinking on same-sex attraction disorder.
