I used to agree with this statement a long time ago, since I grew up in a very conservative area and this was the prevalent "moderate" view of homosexuality, and so I accepted it without really thinking about it too much. But after actually considering my position on this, I changed my mind, for a simple reason:

"I will say that I do not like the straight people that make it obvouis to every one by means of flaunting. If your straight keep it to yourself in public try not to flaunt it too much"

Now nobody in polite company is going to particularly "flaunt" their straightness ("YEAAAH LET'S HAVE SOME SEX WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX WOOOOOO"), but still, there's nothing wrong with people from a community openly showing the world that they are a part of that community, whether consciously or not. Just because everyone knows the stereotypical gay guy and many people relate the entire concept of homosexuality to that stereotype, doesn't mean it's wrong or anything to share characteristics with that stereotype and then "flaunt" it. That's that person's own prerogative, and it shouldn't make anyone uncomfortable.
