Something weird happened today, I feel like my best friend is homophobic

Something very uncomfortable happened to me today and I kept thinking about it. I have a best friend at school, at one point I tried to hug her from behind just because I felt like it and we trust each other, so I didn't think she would mind, plus she is quite affectionate with her other female friends, I thought it would be fine with me hugging her. But she suddenly yelled at me "Don't touch me" and pushed me away from her, everyone heard it. Obviously I didn't continue hugging her and I don't think I will do it again, but I don't understand why she had that reaction to me, because as I said before, she wouldn't have rejected a hug from another female friend.

I feel that I am developing internalized homophobia and I feel that any rejection towards me is because I am a lesbian but I would like to know more opinions. She knows I'm a lesbian, I came out to her a few months ago. She's had weird behavior since I did it, like walking away as soon as I touch her, and we're generally not as close as we used to be.

I'm trying to convince myself that she's not homophobic because she's my best friend and I appreciate her a lot, but I have my doubts.

How should I feel? Annoyed? Just make me sad? Is she homophobic? I need your advice.
