I've never understood the hate towards the gays. As far as I'm concerned, if life has proven anything its that there is amazing variance in everything. Sexual preference is just another concept with great variance. You can like old people, young people, non-people, male, female, all of the above, etc.
The only time we should care is when that sexual preference equates to predatory behaviors and is harmful to any party. This is where we have laws to protect those who would be victims (animals, children, those who did not consent, etc).
As the OPs specific question, I get grossed out watching people smoke, eat pickles, etc. This doesn't mean I'm an asshole, it just means I have no taste for that particular activity that others enjoy. I would not say you are homophobic just by being grossed out with the concept of homosexuality. It is simply something you have no interested in at any level. Now, if you take that a step further and attack those how are homosexual, demonize them, talk down to them or are literally scared when you see the act... that would make you out to be an asshole or literally homophobic (not implying that being scared as a literal definition is the same thing as being an asshole).
People just need to not be assholes. Accept that life produces great variation in everything. While there is commonality and scarce behaviors, none are inherently wrong unless they do harm to others.
