If I was a homophobe then I wouldn't have more than half of the friends I do. I also would never had gotten a bisexual girlfriend. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. It's completely normal to fear becoming something or being something you know is not you.

HOCD is just a colloquial term used by the online community and others who have it. OCD is a real mental disorder that can manifest itself in many different ways, and it sure as hell can manifest itself sexually. These are facts.
However, overcoming OCD should and will take more than just outright ignoring it and the feelings that come along. I would reccommend books that discuss what OCD really is in detail, and how to overcome it along with actually seeking help. Be mindful that therapists and psychologists aren't perfect and they certainly aren't the same. One therapist might say that you just have struggles about coming to terms with who you are, others might say that you have symptoms that are OCD-like, and others might say that you do have OCD. You should see someone who is a clear cut specialist on depending on your type of OCD.
