'Phobia' is a morbid fear of something.
Therefore Homophobia literally means 'Fear of mankind'. That is closer to an odd case of paranoia rather than, formally, hating homo***uals and recently meaning everybody who isn't hetero***ual.
What people who feel they need to fight the corner of non-hetero***uals should be doing is holding placards up against all bigotry in society. To be honest, I don't think I have ever been to a football match and pondered whether someone is straight, gay, lesbian, non-binary or an avid follower of bestiality. I am more concerned about whether they can play football or not.
I think it will snow.
