After inventing an imaginary friend for himself called gay-friendly conservatism, poor Jamie hasn't stopped. Now he has an enemy, and it's "liberal homophobia".
That formulation isn't going to make it to home plate.
There is nothing liberal about homophobia, but there is plenty that is conservative about it (heck we'd likely still be criminals, if conservatism had its way, right?).
