I see no reason to believe that is the case; gay culture, by its nature of growing out of highly-liberal communties during the 60s and 70s, is highly hedonistic and permissive, both things the political right objects to already. That they strongly dislike (perceived) core attributes of this culture and the associated homosexuality looks like a strictly simpler hypothesis than that they dislike (perceived) core attributes of this culture, and also homosexuality.
In short: Occam appears to be on my side, so you'll need some evidence for that.
Read what traditionalists actually write for one thing. They're against hedonistic behaviors and that includes homosexual sex (this is not the only reason they're against it). Notice that this was true long before the current cultural concept of what it means to "act gay".
