As far as standing next to a naked lady showering I would say my only fear is that of getting a boner. And when the rest of the room is filled with naked men, thats not a likely scenario.
So you got a gay guy in your locker room, what is the worst case scenario from a straight man's perspective. Probably that he hits on you. Which im sure you would reply with something along the lines of "Hey man, I'm not gay" to which the likely response would be "Oh, sorry". OH MAN gives me the heebie jeebies!
Look, if a guy is causing a problem by being gay because he's hitting on teammates the problem is not that he's gay, its that he's a crappy teammate.

I don't particularly disagree with anything you said. But can you see where people would be uncomfortable with that, where that is entirely reasonable, and why not wanting to be in that situation in a shower does not mean you're homophobic? (And not that im saying this is culliver's thought process)
