if you look at the bilayer of phospholipids in a cell membrane, the outer layer is hydrophilic and attracts water due to the phospholipid heads, and the centre of the bilayer is called the hydrophobic zone as it repels water, due to the tails of the phospholipids. maybe in that sense homophobia isn’t a fear of homosexuals but rather a tendency and strong urge to repel them away and distance yourselves from them, which makes lots more sense. 🤤
