While I'm sure that is the source for anger of some, I doubt it is the source for the anger of all.
Reminds me of one of my uncles. He moved to the San Fran Bay area, because he feared the reaction of his Mid-western family & friends. All of us were guilty by default. Fearing rejection, he rejected first & then blamed those he rejected for the distance he himself had created.
Not all gays are attention seekers. Some are. I would venture to say a disproportionate number are. But not all, by any means.
My brother-in-law was always gay but nobody ever mentioned it (except his two brothers) and his mother and father never acknowledged it either. He had one lifetime partner and didn’t go around flaming away or making us feel defensive. He was kind and generous. I never let my kids run around in their underwear around him, though. Otherwise, he was always good to us and when he died, he left my children part of his estate. Gays are not usually horrible people.
