Phobes root word there is phobia. Which is fear of.
Someone who has arachnophobia is afraid of spiders. Yet homophobia doesn't mean fear of gays. It's hate of gays.
This doesn't make sense at all.

Idk gay people are cool until they get a little to comfortable and try to hit on you. Then it's awkward cuz then ur criticized for being homophobic when you tell them to stay away.
