But a phobia is an irrational fear. Isn't the right phrase "she sees bi as lesser"?

It's classified as a "fear or dislike of gay people"

Honestly, though, that's always been a pet peeve of mine. Don't call it a phobia if it's just irrational bigotry and hatred. There's no fear in that, surely? Maybe I'm the irrational one, but it feels to me like somebody dropping a skittle and then going "omg I have to pick this up, I am just so OCD."

It's not like something that truly bothers me, but I get where the other guy is coming from. Phobia has generally always meant an irrational fear to me.

Biphobia is an aversion and dislike towards bi people. It's like homophobia – not all homophobes are "scared" of gay people. C'mon dude Google is free.
