I simply could not consider behaviour like that. I also don't buy into the secretly-gay idea but I am sure that there are plenty of ignorant yobs out there that would use any excuse to beat up on someone.
Look at the CCTV pictures we see on a regular basis of spontaneous and unprovoked attacks in the evening streets.
I'm hetero but have no problems with different strokes for different folks. Many years ago I had the priviledge of working with Quentin Crisp for a few months. A more flamboyant and dramatic gay you could not meet. Our lifestyles were very different but it would never have occurred to me to attack him for that difference.
There will always be individuals at the bottom of the food chain that react to anything different with violence. As a copper I knew in Wales once said "You can't educate pork"
