I always liked the theory that nobody is a 100% straight or gay (Kinsey scale, I think?), and Tony is no different in my mind. You fall in love with a person, not with a gender. I'm not sure if Tony ever really, truly loved Jeanne. It was more the idea of a some what normal life, settling down, starting a family. He cared for her, but in love? I don't know. The more I think about it, the more I realise how messed up he became from that assignment. And the more I disliked how Jenny got him involved in it.
I think Tony is a pretty traditional guy when it comes to views on family and love. Not that he would dissaprove of other people's choices, but he has trouble seeing himself in a different setting than the typical man + woman = 2.1 childeren. Untill he realises that he feels something for Tim that isn't just colleagues, friends, or brotherly affection. He's probably been attracted towards guys before, but never did anything with it, because it didn't fit in with the picture he had of himself.
