Homophobia?
Really?
Is that a typo for homosexuality? If that is what you mean, then you seem simply to be parrotting Foucault's claim about homosexuality's having been invented in 1870. Homophobia didn't enter the language until the mid-to-late 20th century, though - which sits oddly with your claim if it's not a typo (and I'm more inclined to trust the SOED than you, to be perfectly honest).
But even if you did have Foucault's claim in mind, and even if we understand it as he meant it to be understood - that is, that homosexuality became a subject of study of a particular sort, rather than just another sub-species of sexual transgression - it's not really clear why it's relevant here...

it's not a typo,
see the debate above. My point isn't about inventing the term "homophobia" but rather laying much of the groundwork for the modern social phenomena now called such.
