Well, I'm a long-range Captain and I'm normal (I use that word on purpose) Working with homosexuals is a nuisance in the civil aviation world, but how can it be avoided ? there are simply too many of them.
A couple of F/Os have this infirmity in my company. Without even discussing the subject with them, I acknowledge we don't go very well personnally, and we limit out our talking to SOPs and standard calls. Probably like dogs : I never kick them, but they immediately feel that I don't like them.
By the way, I also don't like smokers and muslims - but I can fly with them without crashing the aircraft, and I can also be quite courteous and talkative, with a good CRM attitude.
You can hate people with no need to be rude with them - ask some recent terrorists....

To make things easiers for the expected opposition, I will add that I used to be a fighter pilot for 24 years, with combat and command experience .... also I'm not a native english speaker, that might be a contributing factor ?
