What is meant by the act of homosexuality that requires a person to make up for the fast of the day on which they committed this sin? Does having certain feelings towards the same sex during fasting days also necessitate making up the fast, even if one repents afterward?

It is important to clarify that the act of homosexuality (sodomy) during the fasting hours invalidates the fast, and the person must make up for that day. This is based on the consensus of scholars regarding the invalidation of fasting due to such acts.
As for having feelings or desires towards the same sex during the fasting period, this does not invalidate the fast. The fast is only invalidated by the actual act itself, not by feelings or thoughts. Therefore, if one repents after committing the act, they must still make up the fast for that day.
