GUEST (the same or another one) told us:

Critics of homosexuality do not like being called homophobes. The word simply means a dislike of homosexuality

Huh-uh. A (whatever)phobe is one who has a phobia agains (whatever).

According to my dictionary, a phobia is "a morbid fear or hatred" of something. Usually it's assumed to be a pathological state.

This is far from mere "dislike". q.e.d.
