Can we agree that the term "Homophobia" is incorrect to the context of prejudice? Strictly speaking, people who are prejudiced are not afraid, but rather, hate the object of their prejudice.

Fear is too cutesy, and every time I hear the word "homophobe" or "homophobia" my brain automatically thinks of the person who said it, "that person is stupid."
