Speaking as a gay man, one of the things my male friends often ask is why are so many cabin crew and other airline staff gay? The thing that depresses me is that they are able to tell a persons sexual preference only because they conform to a stereotype, too often mincing or over reacting, frequently to remain the centre of attention.
It IS very true that aviation has way more than it's fair share of divas and drama queens who love a good cat fight or talking down to the customer. I reiterate that this isn't everyone by any means, but it is reinforced as normal behaviour due to the mix of gay / straight within the industry. I shouldn't be able to tell your sexual preference by the way you behave but believe you me, in the airline industry, it is worn as a badge of pride.
In the wider world, it causes unease to be so obvious. Speaking as a gay man.........
