Technically, homophobia is a phobia -- an unreasonable fear, in this case of homosexuals. Any phobia is "bad" in the sense that it hurts the person with the phobia. It can also cause that person to hurt others.
In casual use, "homophobia" is used to refer to anyone who is opposed to homosexuality for any reason. The most common reasons are fear and ignorance. Generally speaking, attitudes based on fear and ignorance are unhealthy for us.
