I see what you mean and you could be right, I'm not going to deny it, but I still think this is nothing more than just a very personal feeling of "Eww, I wouldn't like to do that!". It's like Marka said, many hetero men see it as a threat to their masculinity. I do have some trouble understanding why because I'm certain that kissing a woman wouldn't do my femininity any harm. There are far worse things. :p
Another thing, you shouldn't underrate tolerance. Tolerance means: a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry. If everyone was tolerant of homosexuals then homosexuals wouldn't have the problems they have now, it wouldn't matter if people truly accepted them or not. You can't get a person to completely like/agree with you or what you do, getting that person's respect is the most you can aim for.
