homophobia

Phobia from Phóbos = φόβος (Greek)noun.- fear, morbid fear

I do not have a 'fear' of homosexuals.
I am kind of 'disgusted' by their activities.
I am 'averse' to homosexuals.

disgust = αηδία (Greek, pronounced 'aivia'(eye-VEE-ah) noun.

homoaidia? Homoaivia?

averse = antíthetos - αντίθετος (Greek, pronounced (AHN-te-THET-ohs) noun.

homoantithetos?

aversion = apostrofí̱ - αποστροφή (Greek, pronounced (ah-pas-TRO-fee)

homoapstrofi?

I think these would be better.
But of course they wouldn't work as well to imply that I have something wrong with ME by not liking homosexuality. (See, the people with homophobia are the ones with the problem not homosexuals.)

aversion = apostrophe?

It's definitely interesting that I hadn't heard that before.
