    Homophobia isn't a sin.

    Lust
    Gluttony
    Greed
    Sloth
    Wrath
    Envy
    Pride

    I'm not seeing disliking sly boys in that list anywhere.

    "Wrath", obviously.

    "Gluttony", if you eat the corpse.

    All of them, potentially. Mostly Pride, if I understand what you mean. Killing someone "just because" you have the power to do it.

    I'm pretty sure most of homophobia is lust-driven; it's surely either gluttony or greed to overstep the bonds of your own private space and judge that of others, and the motive to do so is usually a form of envy or pride; following your fears rather than rational argument is definitely sloth, and if you like to talk yourself into a rage about it it will even cover wrath.
