Alex father is actually homophobic considering how he talks to Alex and broke Michael's hand. Any male in a relationship with Alex is what he would automatically hates. So the trope which is type specific, ( lazy, criminal, different religion) does not count as he hates Michael for being a guy and his son for being gay. Its not even clear if he is aware Michael is an alien.
