The term "[[homophobia]]" is a derogatory term that is sometimes used to describe an aversion to homosexuality. The suffix "phobia" suggests an irrational fear. It is used by [[gay rights]] groups to suggest 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>
