Actually Websters calls it: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. 


But fear not, nobody is trying to take your word away from you. IMO there is nothing irrational about a person of faith not wanting to bake a cake for a SSM; however, it would be irrational for them to refuse to sell them a cookie You feel free to use it as you see fit and I'll use it as I see fit; we can each quote a definition. 

FWIW here's a link to a fairly good article on the word, its meaning, and origin:
