I wouldn't even say that it IS homophobic at all.
Just because he hasn't got a clue what causes 'teh gay' in people, doesn't mean that he thinks it's BAD. He.... just would rather continue fancying girls.
Hmmm.... Possibly, possibly...
OTOH, we know that Dan is a racist, by his own self-realization. Maybe Amber's trying to show more of Dan's ugly/bigoted side...

Ha, wow. I guess if I grew up without knowing any gay folks, I might end up thinking the same things, but.... man, I hope not.
You're not going to like what I'm about to say. And it's not a statement against your character, Arcblade, but a statement of fact, empirically supported by personal experience.
People who grow up without knowing any LGBT-folks dont' end up thinking the same things that Dan's spouting in the comic. They end up thinking things
that are much worse.
