homophobia
Fear and avoidance of sameness, monotony or of homosexuality or becoming homosexual.
In common use the term refers to irrational hostility or negative attitude (rather than fear, but often including avoidance) toward those of same sex sexiual orientation. In psychoanalytic theory this negative attitude is sometimes assumed to arise from fear of one's own homosexual impulses even in one with opposite sex sexual orientation.
