Are you willing to say that homosexuals who don't approve of everything that a straight person does is heterophobic? You'd have to in order to be consistent, wouldn't you?

If Archaea's statements were limited to saying that homosexuality was a sin, then you could be right. His statements go far beyond that, though, and most certainly indicate a high degree of homophobia.
As to your heterosexual analogy, it doesn't work. We aren't talking about "approving of everything that a [homosexual] person does. That statement suggests that I must "approve" of homosexuality or I must be a homophobe- a false dichotomy. It also suggests that I have to approve not only of the homosexual acts, but of every other thing homosexuals do.
Approval is not required. Tolerance is. If you simply cannot tolerate homosexuals in any way, shape, or form, then yes, you are homophobic. Tolerance isn't even equated with accepting their right to marry. It is equated with treating them as human beings in a decent manner rather than making snide, rude comments about them every chance you get (as I think Archaea does).
By the way, why is it that the right compares everything in life to a card game? I have never seen your game, but it sounds like the race card and homosexual card are kind of like the queen of spades in hearts?
Or maybe the card game is hearts and the race card and homosexual card are the same card- the black queen?
