Why hasn't this word been coined? It is technichally and mechanically the opposite of "Homophobia." "homo" + "phobia" = "homophobia." Since "Philia" is the literal and exact opposite of "Phobia" it should therefore follow that: "Homo" + "Philia" = "Homophilia." If no one has any objections I would like to coin and use this word as is applicable.
