homophilia


etymologically, ‘h-m-phile’ is derived from two greek words – ‘h-m-‘, meaning ‘the same’, and ‘philos’, meaning ‘friend’, or possibly ‘philein’, meaning ‘to love’, or ‘to be dear to’. greek uses ‘eros’ to signify ‘s-xual love’, so philein should be taken to signify non-s-xual love between friends or members of the same family, e.g. brothers.

in ‘h-m-philia’, ‘h-m-‘ could signify a shortened form of ‘h-m-s-xual’.

thus h-m-philia could have two meanings-

1) supportive, brotherly friendship towards g-ys and lesbians, or

2) non-s-xual love between two men or two women.

broadly, it means an open, non-judgemental acceptance towards g-ys and lesbians, or, alternatively, towards the expression of non-s-xual warmth and intimacy between people of the same s-x. it is the opposite of ‘h-m-phobia’ – the fear or hatred of all things g-y.
‘…h-m-philia is a central aspect of modern g-yness, in relationships between men whether s-xually expressed or not’.
avocation of h-m-s-xuality, in any form.
most liberal democrats support h-m-philia.

most liberal democrats while supporting h-m-philia are also h-m-phobic.
a heteros-xual person’s obsessive fascination with all things h-m-s-xual.
john was not g-y, but his h-m-philia caused him to be a militant supporter of the g-y lifestyle.
as opposed to h-m-phobia (fear or dislike of h-m-s-xuals), h-m-philia is the s-xual attraction towards h-m-s-xual people. this is not to be confused with simply “h-m-s-xual”, h-m-philia refers fixation on h-m-s-xual people of either gender.
h-m-philia is much rarer than h-m-s-xuality.
acceptance of h-m-s-xuals that is put on for fear of seeming h-m-phobic.
you’re not really friends with kyle. he’s just a handbag for your h-m-philia.
h-m-philia is the love of, or romantic interest in, someone of the same gender, where s-xual attraction is not necessarily a factor.
my parents were confused by my h-m-philia.
(sociology) tendency for people to maintain relationships with people who are similar to themselves, as characterized by age, race, gender, religion, or profession
status h-m-philia marks the tendency to have in one’s network persons with similar statuses.
