It's your preference. Is disliking movies just because one of the actors is gay homophobic?
I don't see the connection to LGB issues here.

So why is it not transphobic to dislike a movie just because there's a trans character? TRAs are insane but trans people are just people.

Trans people support a homophobic ideology by the mere fact of self-identifying as "transgender". I totally agree that we should not villainize people sucked into the trans cult-- it's just not fair or accurate to make broad generalizations such as "all trans people are pedophiles" for example. However, choosing to boycott a movie that promotes bigoted beliefs is not, itself, bigoted.

That's not what trans is though. I have trans friends who support same-sex attraction. A movie that has an actor that is trans is not making a statement. They just happen to be an actor that is trans. Are gay trans people homophobic too?
