True story.
Back in the day, our student union president came out during a speech, and closed with the words "I suppose I'll get beaten up by the rugby team now" the got promptly hugged by all the female sociology students.

Talk about stereotyping!
Needless to say, the rugby team, of which I was a member, couldn't give a shit and neither verbally or physically abused the guy. Ever.

My point is that while I'm sure there ARE some homophobic people about, I think there is a lot of paranoia amongst the LGBT community about what people's reactions to them may be. I also think there are a few attention seekers that go out of their way to provoke a reaction imho.
