accusing people of being homophobic for not wanting to see men kissing is not really helpful for understanding between gay and straight people.

As for "heterophobia".I've never heard of that even being a thing.That would mean people hating even their own parents.I can't see it.
"Slightly repulsed" lol. Ok, as long it's low on the scale of repulsion then that's fine. This smacks of "I don't have a problem with it, as long as it's behind closed doors and no one speaks of it!".

You don't have to feel a "desire to watch it". Even if it happens out in the street, you don't have to stand there watching. But seeing it... and feeling repulsion?! I think that's pretty homophobic. You don't have to want to see it, but you can still be accepting of it if it does happen. But to try and justify a feeling of repulsion, exclusively towards gay men kissing, suggests that it isn't something you're accepting of. Fortunately, "every straight man you know" doesn't represent the entire straight male population.
