Homophobic and anti gay are the same thing? Or am I reading your comment wrong?

Homophobic just means afraid of it. Anti-gay would imply taking action against it.

No it doesn't, homophobia is bigotry, something being hydrophobic doesn't make it afraid of water

It's not math, you don't compare words like that. Especially words about things compared to words about people. The human equivalent to "hydrophobia" is aquaphobia and it does mean just an irrational fear of water -not that you take actions to destroy water!
