There have been studies that report that violent reactions to gays (i.e. bashing) IS equated to people who have suppressed homosexual desires. In other words these people hate that in themselves to such a degree that they will attack gays (or people they perceive to be gay) as a way to "prove" that they themselves are not "that way".
People who "disapprove" aren't really homophobic since a phobia is usually a fear. Homophobia is not a good description in this case.
However, I would only hope that straight people would try to understand that someone being open about being gay is not that extreme. Straight people usually don't have to say their "straight" because it's usually assumed, especially if you talk about your wife. However, if a gay person says they're gay or talks about their partner, then some straight people will say "why can't you keep it to yourself?". Not really fair in my book.
