It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "homophobe", "Homophobie", "homophoben", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is homophob, spelled H-O-M-O-P-H-O-B.
