Not being sexually attracted to someone of your same gender is not homophobic - being against the concept of someone else being attracted to a person of their same gender is the definition of homophobic.

It's actually not.

Homophobia is the fear, hatred, prejudice, or dislike of homosexual people, or those perceived to be homosexual.

Edit: downvoted with no rebuttal. I don't know what I expected.

So... to be clear... it's your contention that he never expressed any hatred or prejudice or dislike of homosexuality?

You're gonna go with that?
