:::It doesn't. I wasn't sure I had a point, but now i have: The opposite of "love" is rather "hate" than "fear" (although Darth Vader might disagree whether that makes a difference), so, grammatically homophilia is not the opposite of homophobia.
:::Latin is not the issue. "Homophila" is quite synonymous with "homosexuality", I have heard it before, but usually in comparision to other paraphilias (pedo-, necro-, copro- etc). So, the word "homophilia" should, imho, be used to emphasize homosexuality as a perversion, rather than as form of love. [[User:Eygar|Eygar]] 15:36, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
