That confuses me about words like "homophobic" because "homophobes" aren't really irrationally terrified or "phobic" just hateful and bigoted. Meanwhile a person who is literally homophobic as in terrified of gay people, may not hate them or want to deny them rights, only irrationally terrified and possibly able to recognize that their terror is irrational. English why.

The thing with homophobia though, it sort of is an irrational fear in some people.

Fortunately it seems to be more rare in younger generations, but I know guys who are more my parent's generation, or even younger, who really have this irrational fear that gay men will try to touch them inappropriately or magically make them gay.

Some people who oppose gay marriage are basically against it because they somehow fear it will make society crumble or they fear change and progress.

So while it's not a phobia in the strictest sense, I have seen hatefulness coming from a place of fear.

Well, one thing to remember is that "phobic" as a suffix can be used both to refer to extreme and irrational fears and other types of repellent behavior. For example, hydrophobic molecules do not do well around water. Their name isn't meant to imply that molecules are capable of experiencing phobias in the psychological sense.

For another, some bigotry does stem from irrational fear, and some fear stems from bigotry.
