How, you ask? Well, ponder this.
Say a person went around life with a severe hatred of the color orange. And not as in "oh this orange shirt does nothing for my complexion" hate, but hate as in a sincere belief that anything bearing this color is pure evil, sinful, and must be eradicated. The belief that orange is the cause for all that is wrong with the world. Even going so far as to brutally attacking/killing people for merely wearing the color orange.
You'd think that person was a prime candidate for the nuthouse, right?
Now go over that scenario again, but replace 'the color orange' with 'homosexuality'.
Yeah.

of course it is - like any other phobia
homophobia is not when you hate homosexuals, it's when you're scared of them
it's like being scared of spiders

A disease is something no-one wants to be associated with.

Homophobia is NOT a mental disease.

I don't think it's a mental disease, I just think they are incredibly misguided and idiotic for daring to assume someone else is less than them because of who they love.

I think not understanding someone's opinion is more of a disease than homophobia in itself. And before anyone flips their shit, I am for gay rights/marriage/etc.

Firstly, your "argument", if you would even call it that, is highly ridiculous. Secondly, there are people who will call ANYBODY a homophobe all just because they do not believe in gay marriage, regardless if it has any correlation to the actual hatred/discrimination/judgment of homosexuality. You cannot expect people who have followed the Bible their whole lives to suddenly revert to your opinion just because you it is right. (Although you do not have to be Christian to be against such - just bare with me because this is the majority here.)

I feel like there is more discrimination to people who are against it than there are people for it. And it is ironic - not in the funny way either.
