You, jstclkdabtns aswell as vanessa make me uncomfortable.
First, i never said pure hate, I said homophobic, and even qualified it with the phrase 'to some degree', as lesbian was only one of two qualifiers used in teh sentence.
Second, you have to understand that words have meaning, and their use in sentences have meaning. If you put a qualifier in a sentence, it does indicate that yes, your attitude is different to things that do not fit the qualifications. And it also means that you find that qualifier to be a relevant criteria for evaluation.
To say 'x makes me z' means that x is a relevant criteria for generating z. It is pretty straightforward. You are attempting to hedge and muddy the argument by claiming that I am equating 'aggressive lesibans make uncomfortable' to 'I hate aggressive lesbians'. I have not ever said this, implied this, or even suggested it. Attempting to change the scope of the argument like this indicates that you probably, at some level, realize you are wrong, but are trying to sidestep out of it be attacking an argument I never made.
To summarize, though, saying that someone makes you uncomfortable, in part, because they are lesbian is homophobic. It is of a lower magnitude than other statements, and is less hateful than most, but it is absolutely homophobic.
