I don't think the argument has been phrased well by anyone but there is possibly something to it, it's just that 'heebie jeebies' is a really loaded and unhelpful phrase. I think a lot of people insert themselves into the media they watch, so if they are not sexually or romantically interested in men, watching two men kiss may not be a 100% positive experience for them, in the same way that watching two straight people kiss might not be the most engaging experience for a gay person.

If you watch the comedy masterpiece Norbit, the intent of the Eddie Murphy's relationship with his large wife, also played by Eddie Murphy, is to cause distress on the viewer in a similar fashion. It's very avant-garde in that way
