This 'definition' for homophobia is incorrect. Phobia means fear, not hate or mistrust.
The second 'definition' includes the qualifier 'to an unreasonable degree'. This is a foolish definition, as there is no reference for what is reasonable. The object of this slander shall argue that their opinions ARE reasonable, thus rendering the use of this term as incorrect by definition.
"Antipathy for homosexuals" would correctly be labeled 'homoantipathia'.
"Dislike/hatred of homosexuals" would be correctly labeled as 'homomiso'
As this site is about words and correct definitions (not politics, presumably) the definitions ahould be correct and accurate.

This second 'definition' for xenophobia is incorrect. Phobia means fear, not hate nor dislike nor antipathy.
"Antipathy for foreigners" would correctly be labeled 'xenoantipathia'.
"Dislike/hatred of foreigners" would be correctly labeled as 'xenomiso'
As this site is about words and correct definitions (not politics, presumably) the definitions ahould be correct and accurate.
