I don't think homophobia as problem in the west today,

I don't know if I would agree with that, lol. LGB children are being pressure to medically transition at high rates, for one thing. It's just that conditions are even worse in many other parts of the world.

but only the ones more attracted to female rather than the malehating

Agreed lol.

Also, this completely disregards the people who live outside of liberal areas, where homophobia is still very much a thing.

Yup, that too. And, I would even say within liberal areas, homophobia is still very much a thing-- from so-called progressives' comments, to pockets of conservative homophobic religious people within majority-liberal areas.

I mean not saying homophobia doesnt exist anymore, but it isn't such a big problem like in the past, living in the west. My primary worries about homosexuality don't come from homophobia, which is a thing, but to me not as big to make homosexual relationships significantly hard.

I'm in the West, and mine come from homophobia. I agree that it was an even bigger problem in the past, though.
