Read up on the Kegworth crash. A large part was attributed to the fact that the captain wouldn't talk to the purser because he was a gay man. Imagine that captain with a gay F/O.
If people being who they are in a way that doesn't harm you makes you uncomfortable, that's your problem to get over, and if you let it effect safety, it is you who are being unprofessional.
