However, it's whether you choose to express this distaste and/or become insulting that determines whether it's a problem or not. Keep it to yourself and you've offended no one, draw attention to it, make comments, make people feel uncomfortable, and then it's an issue.

You are of course well within your rights to hold any opinion on this matter you wish, that is the beauty of freedom of thought, and within reason the beauty of freedom of speech, but being homophobic for homophobic's sake is unjustifiable and is rightly condemned. Thankfully the people who are homophobic, in much the same way some are racist, sexist etc etc, are not long dying off, and so the practice of indoctrinating their children with such intolerance will soon be over and generationally we'll become the more tolerant and open minded society we have already started to be.

I too don't see what relevance this has to CBB though

This would suggest that the majority of straight men are homophobic.Every straight man i know would be slightly repulsed by the sight of two men kissing and look away.I have nothing at all against anyone being gay and nothing against gay people.I don't consider myself to be homophobic.However i don't have any desire to watch it in action and would look the other way if two men kiss.Obviously two women kissing is a different story as women are my preference.
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.
