The term "homophobia" is a derogatory term that is sometimes used to describe an aversion to homosexuality. The suffix "phobia" suggests an irrational fear, but that is not how the term is used.[1] It is used by gay rights groups to pretend that all opposition to homosexuality is irrational and hateful.[2]

The term is considered offensive, like the term "faggot".
