The suffix "phobia" suggests an irrational fear, but that is not how the term is used.<ref>Psychologists do not recognize it as a phobia in any generally recognized publication like the DSM IV.</ref> It is used by [[gay rights]] groups to pretend that all opposition to [[homosexuality]] is irrational and hateful.<ref>Eg, this site [http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_phob.htm] first defines homophobia as a dread or fear, but says that it includes those who write their Congressmen to oppose same-sex marriage.</ref>
