I'm a lover of etymology. Let's take the word "homophobia" and dissect shall we?
Homophobia as a word is as illegitimate as the word "gay" in modern reference.
Gay means joyous in nature but that's not the best description of a homosexual. FAGGOT better describes a homosexual then gay because it's linked to the origin/word Sodomite where back in the day they would burn faggots over an open fire...
Homo means same and phobia means fear so the word means "fear of same" it's absurd but accepted.
philosophically speaking

That means the derivation of a word, not actually "loving" words! but you are on the right track!

I concur , the English vernacular has been raped over the last century and not too mention the gibberish that youth is using as a language nowadays!
You must look into the word buggery
