If i'm phobic to anything its homophobes, I can understand a person has to feel how they want or choose to think like that, but all the same, I'd prefer them to have a yacht fall on them

OT: I have nothing against homosexuality.
absolutely 0% homophobic. i know quite a few gay guys and i have met a lot more than that. I dont see any difference between homo- or heterosexual people. They can be nice, they can be idiots, but they can love and make out with whom and whereever they want. I am completely straight and never doubted it, i have made out with a few guys when i was a little younger, but most of the times just to shock people.
I was at a few gay/lesbian parties, because the DJ invited us and had a great time, well it was the same subculture, the same music and in a lot of cases the same people as in the clubs i go , so there wasnt a big difference there too, except that i got more compliments from guys than usual
oh hell am i european

I don't have an irrational fear and disgust of male humans.
That's what Homophobia means:
Homo = Man
Phobia = fear/hate
The word Homosexual is actually derived from the word "Homos" (pronounced more like Hau-moss-sexual rather than Hoh-Moh-Sexual) meaning "the same". You can tell a lot about the learnedness of someone from their pronunciation of greek words.
But really what most people call homophobia could more reasonably be described as 'Heterosexual Chauvinism'.
Though chauvinist today colloquially is used to describe a guy who holds sexist to women, the proper term is MALE Chauvinist, putting their sex and gender above and before women to the point of illogical bigotry.
You could describe some feminists as Female Chauvinists.
I don't think I am Chauvinistic in my heterosexuality, Gays in the UK have done a lot to earn the public's respect by being charming, funny, entertaining and plain about their status and not pretentiously demanding to be accepted. The likes of Steven Fry and Ian McKellen. They have most importantly not developed a "them and us" attitude of de-facto segregation (as seems to be in the USA), there are so many examples in British media of them interacting with a majority heterosexual cast and audience without being an outsider. Consider QI.

If they're in your face about it then yeah it's going to get annoying but you could say that about anyone to be honest, whether they're gay or not. At least they're always peppy and up-beat about shit (the gay people i've met anyway). In conclusion no im not, i was brought up to treat everyone with respect.
Word seems fine to me: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homophobia
And not, not at all. But then I'm queer so why would I be? (I grew out of the self-hatred phase in a hot minute when I was about 12).
Seen a lot of people saying that they don't like seeing gay blokes display affection but are fine with lesbians. How unbelievably tedious and really rather pathetic.... (Oh and while I'm a lesbian, I am the short-haired, boot-wearing, "go and fuck yourself" sort).
Personally I am not a fan of anyone, of whatever gender/sexuality, sucking face in public. Times and places folks (and yes I was revolted by seeing some lass groping her blokes package while virtually sucking his tongue in the Marks and Spencer food hall. I suppose they were drunk, but that was well out of order).

Bisexual here,
I used to have an boyfriend and we often went to town to hang out and watch an movie, yet we did not held eachothers hands, we didn't kiss eachother in public, because we knew that people would give that "ohmygawdthoseguysdoeachotherinthebutt-look". it actually got kind of scary and when I told people I had an boyfriend they gave me the same strange look, my friends didn't wanted too hang out with me and a had only a few friends left, worst was when my former "friends" start calling me a fag and threw rocks at my head.
I guess this makes me an Homophobicphobic?

Nope. Live and let live. I'm not huge on religion, so that may be a reason why I'm not, but i dont think God cares to be honest. And if he does, that's just really petty and conceited. Besides, I havea lot of gay/lesbian friends.
