Homophobia exists even when it isn't acted upon. It's a baseless fear or prejudice against homosexuals.
In that vein, the answer to the OP Q, in pretty much any example in which someone finds themselves asking the question......is yes. In that, homosexuality isn't an legitimate issue for anything to anyone..so..if we find it somehow cropping up -as- a perceived issue..then, yeah, it's already circling the drain. Right up there with the "Is it racist if" - pile of questions. Yep, it is. But hey, plenty of the time it;s so mild and inconsequential that it's not worth focusing on, right?
Like, is it racist/homophobic if my grandaddy won't let a gay black man in his house? Sure...but who cares, why would any gay black people want to be in my grandaddys house? Obviously, they don;t know the guy. Is he physically lashing out or denying them rights in doing so? No...but he's still a racist homophobe.
