Homophobia is prejudice, hostility or discrimination towards people because they are, or are believed to be, gay or lesbian. It can also affect bisexual people. Prejudice is an attitude, whereas discrimination is unfair treatment: disapproving of gay people is prejudice; refusing someone a job because they are gay is discrimination.
