The term homophobic makes no sense...

ho·mo
Pronunciation: \ˈhō-(ˌ)mō\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural homos
Usage: often capitalized
Etymology: New Latin Homin-, Homo, from Latin, human being — more at homage
Date: 1591
: any of a genus (Homo) of hominids that includes modern humans (H. sapiens) and several extinct related species (as H. erectus and H. habilis)

Homo is also a gay slur

So why use a gay slur in a word that describes alleged hate against gay people??
