Lost for words

I don't like the word 'homophobic'. Surely it means 'someone who is afraid of males? For me this does not adequately represent what it is supposed to represent. It's the wrong word, a misnomer.
However its common meaning represents something which in our culture is abhorrent and in fact illegal. There are people here who bring their cultural values from abroad, and who seem to feel little or no regards for our values. What a pity, when our culture does offer at least some modicum of toleration. I do pity some people in the world, who are persecuted by the cultures in which they live. We don't need or want such values here, and I sincerely hope that they will never be allowed in this country.
