Would you ever love someone who was homophobic?

Well I'm a lesbian and been for a long time, well I had this best friend who I was and still kind of am in love with and it sucks we went through so much together and since last year we stopped being friends due to the fact partly we had so many trust issues and little things we would get mad at each other for, etc. You know how best friends fight, anyways what she didn't know was that I was in love with her for so long like for almost two years now and even now like I said I still have feelings for her, and we haven't actually talked for over a year now like a actual nice conversation. One of the reasons she totally gave up on our friendship was the fact I was lesbian and she found out by my peers I was into her which totally freaked her out I guess but I don't know, even now she would crack jokes to people about me being obsessed with her and I don't know it sucks. Then just yesterday out of the random she returns my phone to me and plops it on my desk and walks away without saying anything and it was the most contact we had in a year, and it just surprised me so much and right now I feel like all those feelings are coming back to me. And apparently she tells a lot of people like every so often some stuff about me then at the end of the conversation she always concludes how much she hates me or something negative... but the action of returning my phone to me like it was so overwhelming. Obviously I'm overthinking but honestly I don't know what to do.. please any advice?
