With all due respect, Mr. Finkle, I'll accept and consider entirely correct the Oxford Dictionary definition that I provided above.

Yes, the term "homophobia" contains the word "phobia" which typically means "fear," but that is not the case here.

To further buttresss my position, I will cite the definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary:


homophobia
noun
ho·​mo·​pho·​bia ˌhō-mə-ˈfō-bē-ə
: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or gay people



This definition incorporates both fear and aversion/discrimination; the typical meaning of the term is a hatred of homos.
