How is it that homophobia hasn't been classified as a mental disease yet?

Update:

Or at least a mental disorder. These people belong in a group home or a mental hospital.

    My bad I initially misead your post.

    Unfortunately these backwards people are still allowed to voice their hatred against a group of people who wish only for the same rights as heterosexuals.

    Because it isn't. Homophobia is just a dislike/hate of homosexual people and that is not a mental disease at all.

    I'm guessing your're one of the chaps who call people(even respect people) homophobic idiots if they have opposing views to homosexuality.

    Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
