I don't think it's that surprising that a gay man would think that his experience of homophobia is different, even if the way it was expressed does strike me as unfortunately accusatory.
I think the way that homophobia is expressed towards gay men is far different than towards lesbians. I would say with some confidence that a gay man is more worried about a physical, violent response than a gay woman is. The emotions behind it are the same, but the physical response is different, and draws out a different sort of fear.
