No... that isn't relevant to where I live, gay people are widely accepted here. As are Bisexual people.
In my experience, it is those who are corrupted by popularity (As for a strange phenomena, all of the openly gay males I have seen here, are unusual popular, like, beyond everyone else. (I can say differently for the homosexual females here, as they usually tend to be far less popular than the rest, which THEN I can understand the hostility.))
I believe that the hostile behavior stems from the fact that being so popular, means that they can get away with being rude and inconsiderate to others (Even the popular straight people do it, Females tend to do it more than males from my observation.)
Keep in mind, I'm not trying to say that EVERYONE that is gay that gets popular is a power hungry jerk, I know a few that are pretty popular and are great people. I'm just stating some observations and asking for others viewpoints.
