No, your definition says that anyone who views homosexuality as immoral is a homophobe. Using Google as the arbiter (your desired authority, not mine), the most common definition is a person who has "fear and hatred of homosexuals and/or homosexuality". Judging something moral or immoral is not necessarily rooted in fear and hatred. Upbringing and experience is a large contributor as well. Unfamiliarity, when changed to familiarity, very often does not result in fear and hatred.
I disagree, negatively judging someones life style purely based on their sexuality is a negative prejudice based on sexuality alone, and given that the definition you mentioned was actually "prejudice against (fear or dislike of) homosexual people and homosexuality" Prejudice against, which is sub-defined as "fear or dislike" then someone who is prejudice against homosexual people can be said to be basing that prejudice purely on the sexual orientation of the person. And if someone is considering a person's lifestyle to be immoral, based on their sexual orientation then they are clearly prejudicing against them based solely on their sexual orientation.
Thus. Homophobe.
