I thought about the word “revulsion” which is true but I think I’m more repelled by them and homos (making “homophobia” false as well). Just don’t want to be near either.

Merriam-Webster’s definitions of “repulsion”, especially #3:
1: the action of repulsing : the state of being repulsed
2: the action of repelling : the force with which bodies, particles, or like forces repel one another
3: a feeling of aversion : REPUGNANCE

It fits.

Ah, yes. The old (often obscure/unfamiliar) 3rd definition!
