I actually know a guy that has "actual homophobia"
So here's a little story I was out at the bar with a bunch of dudes from work and a few of us broke off from the main group and went to a smaller bar across the street I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen in years there and we were catching up when these two very flamboyant gay guys walked in and they just grabbed a table near the back and were just minding their own business. then my friend that I came to the bar with came up to me very visibly freaked out and was like "dude we have to leave" I picked up on what was bothering him because he kept nervously looking over at the two men so I was like "relax man their just minding their own business over there its not a big deal" and then he was like "screw you then im outta here" I guess he went back to the first bar we had gone to but all the people we had gone there with had already left because he came back a few minutes latter and literally pleaded with me to leave with him like he looked like he was about to break down and cry which was super out of character for this guy so we left. I confronted him about it the next day and he said that he doesn't hate gay people or anything and he understands that his feelings are completely irrational but he just can't be around them.
TLR I have a friend that almost broke down in tears just from being in the same room as two gay men
