homofobia: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el prefijo "homo-" es válido para formar palabras que aluden a los homosexuales. […] Esta definición se añade a la ya existente, que remite al sentido primitivo de "el mismo, igual" y de la que en cierto modo es una extensión, pues se refiere a personas del mismo sexo. Es en este sentido en el que se interpretan términos como "homofobia", […] "homófobo", […] "homoerotismo" […] 3, record 1, Spanish, - homofobia
