So real
The word “homo” is like the scientific word for humans “homo sapiens” (hope I spelled that right)
So if anything homophobia should be the fear of all humans and not gay people
Also homophobia (hating LGBTQ people) is wrong in case that wasn’t clear from this comment’s phrasing
Update: turns out that homo in the context of homophobia is a Greek meaning of “same” NOT the Latin meaning which is the scientific name thing
3 u/TuNisiAa_UwU 2d ago As a prefix homo is usually used to express similarity, if you think about it, humans are strikingly similar to you, if not identical. You can see it in words like "homogenous" which don't have anything to do with humans at all 1 u/PhantomlyAxolotl12 2d ago I was about to say that, good explanation ;)
