I think there's a big difference between a community acknowledging that the teachings of their religion instruct that same-sex sex is taboo (and the teachings of various religions is exactly that) and rejecting people who are naturally attracted to the same sex because they fear or don't understand it.
The word "homophobic" seems very emotive, particularly if you're using it to describe the former of these two things.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
