 Uhunh.  The whole coinage is a bit of a bodge up.  First because the
 author of it has taken the prefix "homo-" to imply the whole word 
 homosexual, and second because that word should more properly have
 been homeo-sexual (homeo = same,  sex = gender, a person attracted
 to the same gender).

 But I'm sure you know what it means:  homophobic, one with a fear
 or hatred against people attracted to the same gender; xenophobic,
 one with a fear or hatred against people of other races and
 nationalities.  Two forms of bigotry.
