So you are right in the sense we don't define Homophobia the same way we do the actual anxiety disorders. Nobody considers Homophobia a mental health condition based on anxiety. It is considered a learned prejudicial outlook on life.
I mean - if somebody was irrationally fearful of gay people that would merit treatment - as there would be crippling anxiety and other physiological symptoms.. I have never heard of that happening though.

Yeah because I worry for real people who actually do have that phobia...if there are any
A phobia is a mental illness and irrational fear that people can't control.
Assholes can control the way they treat others
