Far be it from me to deny anyone their feelings. I can't and won't stop anyone from being homophobic. I will protect the people I love from them though and I will call them on their irrationality and hypocrisy. Someone who can't look at naked men because it makes them "feel gay" has no business telling me what is and isn't homophobic.

However, someone who does not actively discriminate against homosexuals and who's never said that they "feel gay" upon seeing a naked man, and has only expressed a preference not to because it's a turn-off for them--me, for instance--doesn't deserve to be automatically judged homophobic, and has every right to disagree with you when you call them that.
