How is supporting anti-gay movements not an act of homophobia?

I guess you are arguing semantics here, that you have to be literally afraid of homosexuals to be considered a homophobe. Well—though technically correct—this is not how most people use this word, and you know it. In current speech homophobe is anybody that acts maliciously against an LGBTQ+ person or the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

It isn't even technically correct. Hydrophobic molecules aren't afraid of water.
