The homophobia definition is the fear, hatred, discomfort with, or mistrust of people who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Reef meets Alex, who is a gay boy living in the youth home. I don 't think reef knows why he hates Alex. Reef's hatred of Alex stems from his own insecurities as well as his own low self-esteem. Any hatred of a specific people is rooted in negativity, ignorance, and fear.
