My reply would be this: Phobia is technically a fear, but it is also often a hatred of the thing as well. For instance, if you are arachniphobic, you have a fear of spiders, but that often turns into a hatred and killing them if you see them. Similarly, homophobic is used in a similar way, refering to both a fear and/or a hatred of homosexuals. The other problem is saying something is morally wrong is still a judgement call. You are judging someone for what they are doing. The difference between judging someone for stealing and judging someone for being homosexual is the problem. You are judging something the person cannot control, like being black or deaf. Being a logical person that you appear to be, you can find both plenty of scientific evidence pointing to homosexuality being a born trait, both in humans and many other species. Also, from a psychological stance, why would people choose to be with someone of the same sex, knowing the hate and discrimination it causes? No one would choose to do that. Therefore, I think you should do some research and really think long and hard before calling something a "lifestyle choice" when it is not.
