Yep, I was just being homophobic and invalidating their sexuality because it "is" about genitals (according to some people even here apparently).

Are you talking about people in this sub...? I mean, yeah, being LGB is about being romantically attracted to the same sex, too, not just sexually attracted. But genitalia are one external indicator of biological sex, and the definition of same-sex-attracted (aka LGB) is being attracted to the same sex. If someone was born with a dick then I'm not into them, because they're the opposite sex. Gay men would say the same about vaginas. So in that sense, yeah, it's about sex; genitals are part of the two types of sexual reproductive systems in humans and they indicate sex, so people might implicitly refer to sex by referencing genitals.
