This is kind of a complicated thing, I think. First, I don't think there's always something inherently bad about caring about sexuality. Celebrities' sexualities do hold some importance to me, because I like seeing out celebrities and it's fun when I learn that a female celebrity I find attractive has come out. We don't have many out LGBTQ celebrities, so I don't feel any guilt for being happy about the ones we have.

But, on the other hand, I think being unable to look at someone the same way because of their sexuality, and finding it that disruptive, does suggest there may be a hold-up there. Maybe it's something you're just not used to seeing. I think society is so heteronormative that it can be hard to think past that.

In any case, I don't think you're doing anything blame-worthy. Might be worth thinking about where these feelings may be coming from, though.

This. A lot of people (especially online) tend to forget that the world is still predominantly heteronormative and that there's still tons of people living in areas where seeing a queer person expressing themselves comfortably is incredibly rare, dangerous even. A good example is my sister. She weighs upwards of 500lbs. When I see her, I see my funny and dorky sister. When other people see her, they see a very fat woman and they stare. So really, I don't think the OP is homophobic, I think they're merely unused to seeing it out in the open.
