Oh yeah, Colonel Kleb is portrayed as a disgustingly ugly and predatory lesbian in From Russia, With Love. Again, hinted in the film, explicit in the book.

Several other "homophobic" insinuations in the Bond books. But Goldfinger is the most "homophobic," as Bond himself reveals his disgust at them.

Good points, all.

Remember Honor Blackmun who turned from disdainful to passionate and helped Bond after all. After saying she was immune.
“I think I appealed to her——maternal instincts.”

Any man’s man in those days would have looked down on
homosexuals.

As for myself, I suppose I could say I was disgusted too if
I really focused on it. I think it’s wrong. Frankly, I do
feel sorry for them also.

I’m not convinced homosexuals are as happy as a group as a
lot of folks seem to think they are. There is room for me
to be wrong about that though.

I believe it’s God’s issue to judge. I just try to be
courteous. I’m not into trash-talking it to death.
