Fear of the different, and I appreciate that sounds somewhat glib, it's not meant to be. Is it at all possible that you were exposed to the concept of a homosexual couple at a young age that cast a negative light on the concept? It could be something as simple as overhearing a conversation.
I can`t remember at what age my mother told me about homosexuality, I do know I must have been 11 or younger as I was at junior school (I can still remember why it was explained). It was stressed that there was nothing wrong with homosexuality, just that it was different to heterosexuality. I believe that this positive introduction, as it were, at such a young age, pretty much killed any chance of prejudices being formed.
