I don't think you've really thought this through.
Revulsion and attraction are on the same scale.
Taken to it's logical conclusion you're saying you don't hate gay men for being attracted to other men, you hate them for not being attracted to other women.
Even if your cause was geared toward getting everyone to be attracted to everything equally, it's still a critique against what people are attracted to.
In the context of forming a relationship, you simply can't force someone to like all people equally (whether it's against revulsion or for attraction, it's the same thing). No one should have that kind of control over an individual's preference. There are many sexual minorities whom I'm sure would be able to explain this to you in great detail.
For example, on a hetrosexual date, is it wrong for a woman to ask the man what he does for a living because she's looking for a mate who could support a family? Of course not.
Would you not agree that it would wrong for that man to then say "I'm a doctor" when he's really only a garbage collector? The man's motivation is to be accepted by the woman so he could have sex regardless of how she feels about the deception. Is that the most important thing? Sex by any means necessary? Doesn't the woman's preference matter?
Now, that said, in the context of pornography, where it's all about the sexual excitement over imagery, you may have a case as long as the illusion is preserved.
After all, in this forum, people like seeing women suddenly hulk out. There has never been an instance of this in real life, so naturally it's all fake. People are willing to accept that illusion as long as details don't come to light that shatter it. Once those details show up, it's our natural instinct to evaluate if this is a suitable mate, and if it turns out the she is a he, and you're not attracted to a he, then individual preference on a mate takes precedence.
