It's a generational issue. We are moving out of a generation that is less accepting of homosexuality, and into one that does. We are having kids now, who will be raised to see the difference between gay and straight behavior, but not label it as negative or positive.
I can say that I hate hanging out with queens. They drive me nuts and it is because they are flamboyant and over the top and catty which doesn't jive well with my down to earth, introspective vibe. I don't hate hanging out with them because they have sex with men. My point is that we need to make sure it's okay to dislike a characteristic in people that is often equated with different minorities. I'm completely comfortable with queer theatre, gay and lesbian art, opinion and lifestyle but I don't like hanging out with Queens; that doesn't make me homophobic in the least.
