Phobias are certainly learned mental disorders and not a disease that can be medically treated. I have a phobia for needles but the reason I do is because when I was a very young child, the scariest doctor, gave me some shots and I have never been the same about needles since. I learned that needles reminded me of the scary doctor.
Again, learned behaviors and no need to associate homophobia with anything but the learned behavior.
