Homophobia and preference are two different things.

At a certain point, a man typically prefers that touch from a woman.

There's a line between that preference (i.e. because it fucking feels better to him) and homophobia.

Simply put, once boys discover girls they spend most of their time running around with half woods chasing them, and prefer that over snapping a pic on another boy's lap.

As a man, you typically no longer desire ongoing comfort from the strong hands of a man unless it's a major situation.

I remember when the brother of one of the toughest dudes in my neighborhood got killed. I caught him just walking up the street by himself in disbelief looking hurt. I pulled my car over immediately, hopped out and threw my arms around him.

And he didn't reject it.

That said, I greet damn near all my close male friends with a five AND hug when I see them.

There's more to be said about the bullshit in the connection that was drawn, but I don't care enough to keep going.
