Maybe ‘fag hags’ have homophilia, not homophobia

If we’re going to get persnickety — and you already have; this is a correction to your own contribution — using the term ‘Neo HomoPhobia’ to describe fag hags makes no sense at all. A more accurate term might be homophilia, the liking of homosexuals: the ‘neo’ is entirely redundant. In any case, I have yet to meet someone who likes gays indiscriminately on the basis of their sexuality: there are people we get on with and those we don’t, and sexuality is only part of the story.

Why do some gays (and lesbians) dislike fag hags? With so many bigoted people in the world, I would think they’d like some sympathizers.
