I'd like to ask 'Which is the best?' aha.

I'm going to say bullying is the worst of the worst these days. Homophobism does seem to be more nefarious and you see here how people are really just unapologetic about it.
Usually the racist knows to try and hide it or deny it or explain their way out of it.
The bully will at least know to shift blame to the victim.
The sexist knows to keep his attitude muted and away from too many eyes,
but,
The homophobists is not only without remorse but even seems proud of it. Even when confronted they will even admit to the unfairness and STILL continue on.
So the homophobist might be the one to worry about the most as they willfully, remorselessly and even believing it is their 'right' carry on.
They also employ bullying so you can include that in there too.

So yeah looks like Stu's right and the OP knew what they were doing, i.e. being a tit.

I get that with things that one should naturally fear like animals/insects that can bite but i do not think the generic definition works with say hom-o-sexuals.

But the OP didn't say homophobia he said "homophobism" a made up word for hatred or fear of in the thread starters word's "homophobics" i.e. people who fear or hate gay people.

What?? I give up. I voted Labour at the election but if this is what Blair meant by education, education, education then bloody hell, shocking.

Homophobist is not a word, homophobe is.
Homophobism isn't a word, homophobia is.
Homophobic does not mean homosexual, homosexual does.

Either way, that doesn't explain why you thought homophobic means gay and El thought homophobist means anything.

No, it's just that the word doesn't exist, that site searches multiple print dictionaries.
