No, it doesn't. You are missinterpreting this data.
This study shows that teenage boys answer more homophobically to questions in 2024, then older people or teenage girls.
If you want to know if this generation is more homophobic, you would need a timeseries of studies. What did Millenials answer to the question when they were in the corresponding age group?
First, not all gen Z are teenagers. Older Gen Z are 28/27 years old.
There are a lot of studies that are showing that young males are getting more conservative while young females are getting more liberal. https://www.economist.com/international/2024/03/13/why-the-growing-gulf-between-young-men-and-women
Young males are also more likely to vote for far-right parties in Europe than young females. https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-young-people-right-wing-voters-far-right-politics-eu-elections-parliament/
I know this is anecdotal evidence, I’m an older Gen Z and I’ve seen people I’ve known from high school getting more right wing due to social medias eco chambers.

Young men don't become more right-wing due to echo chambers, but due to open and widespread discrimination against them in service of leftist ideals.

As a heterosexual, optionally white, male, everywhere you look, you are disadvantaged, blamed, erased or forgotten unless you're exceptional. All the echo chambers do is highlight the injustice and then ferment that resentment. Which isn't good, don't get me wrong, but they don't "create" the issues. They just highlight and profit off them.
Based on your post, i would assume you'd disagree with at least one of the points above. do you agree with two or more? which ones do you believe are wrong for me to list, without a doubt?
Counter examples for each:
education (both basic and higher)
If you go to public school in Alabama you would most times be advantaged as a white man over any other race. Racism is rampant there
hiring
Tech companies disproportionately hire white men, despite token diversity efforts the overwhelmingly largest population is heterosexual white men promotions Look at the C-suite for any Fortune 500 company. Again we see white men are, by far, the largest demographic. But maybe that's just because they got hired the most?
popular culture (movies, shows)
Captain America does not discriminate against white men
historical rewrites
This doesn't even make sense.
all of tech (and therefore online "public" forums like reddit
Tech is disproportionately run by white men. Interestingly, that wasn't always the case. 40 years ago the majority of programmers were women. It became a lucrative field with the tech revolution and quickly became male dominated
Edit: Fixed quotes
All you've listed is anecdotal and niche examples as evidence to the contrary... When has Alabama ever been representative of the entire country?
