In many animals mating can mean two things:

  1. complete mating for breeding purposes
  2. symbolic mating(w/o penetration) to show and establish dominance

The #2 type can occur male-to-male as well as female-to-female and has nothing to do with homosexuality.

He probably isn't "mating" with him. He is showing dominance to the other one. When I put my two male guinea pigs together for the first time S'mores would hump Simba a lot. That's completely normal.

Is your girl guinea pig dislike the boy guinea pig if she kicks him when he chases her?

Yes, this is her way of showing the male that she does not like him. The male pig is chasing her because he wants to mate with her. If she kicks, than that usually indicates that she is not in heat; is not ready to mate.
