If you use term like homophobic, others could consider you as homofilic.

  Thank you. Even as a child, maybe because Im an immigrant and learned English in grade school, I was annoyed by the term homophobic. I remember saying a "joke" back around middle school days that I'm not afraid of gay people, I just don't like them. As an adult now, I don't really care, but just like Ive grown to dislike people that sleep around casually (even though I was one of them from 18-35), I also don't really like the idea of gay hookup culture. Since that seems a lot more popular in the male gay community (I don't know about women), I also generalize that I don't like the popular gay culture either. If liberals/leftists can talk constantly how they don't like trump supporters or conservatives, and even talk down their intelligence levels, I don't see why I'm not allowed to not like someone who believes and does things I don't like. Calling people like me homophobic doesn't really resonate to me and basically makes me ignore anything beyond that.

    Using disparaging labeling shows lack of arguments and usually used by those who are scared.
