    Many have now expressed logomisia (dislike or hatred of a word) for the word 'homophobia', partly because the 'phobia' part suggests fear rather than hate (and also because that seems to dignify it as a psychiatric condition). Taking a parallel from the word 'logomisia', then, one could propose 'homomisia' (or 'homophilomisia', rather unwieldy). However, like DvBrighoff's coinage 'erastophobia', it'll never catch on in the real world.
