When a heterosexual couple walks down the street hand-in-hand, past endless advertising billboards showing heterosexual couples hugging, kissing, lying in bed together... no-one bats an eyelid.
But if a gay couple walk down the street hand in hand, the best they can expect is disapproval from many, and the worst they can expect is physical violence - the justification being that they are shoving their "lifestyle" down other peoples throats.
Its only through people being courageous enough to come out, that attitudes have begun to change. And the more high-profile people that do it, the less ignorance and hypocrisy will prevail.
