No. They're blaming the "sexualization". That is an action by the person doing the sexualizing.
Read: If you sexualize teen girls for dressing in a certain way, we should not blame the girl; however, we should blame the person who sexualizes the child.
Also, this person is stating facts. History is what it is. The person stating the facts is not a homophobe for speaking the truth.
Seriously, people? Taking an excellent topic to spur intelligent intellectual conversation and using it as a chance to go all "social justice warrior"? What a drag.

Just because you're comfortable being homophobic doesn't make it correct.
