A definition only helps if you apply it correctly.
If a congressman sponsored a bill that opposed allowing people who were over the age of 80 to adopt, it wouldn't necessarily be evidence that he is anti-old people. It would more likely be that he didn't think it was in the interest of the child to have parents that might be on the verge of dropping dead.
There are rational arguments that can be made against same-sex marriage, gay adoption and gay hate crimes that have nothing to do with being anti-gay. Haggard's position on the other hand, that gays are an abomination, is directly focused on the "gay" itself.
