If peer pressure and a need to fit in determined a person's sexuality, every single person in the western world would be straight and in lock-step with the made-up behaviors assigned to the genitalia they were born with.
There are no social advantages to being discriminated against, ostracized, threatened, and assaulted due to your very existence. I have a hard time imagining a person choosing to be targeted just for the hell of it.

Aaach, there are real and fake people in all walks of life, why should one be more special than any other?
If someone like Nicole ritchie went to some african village and posed for pictures holding a starving child we'd all call her fake, I certainly would.
Fake folks is fake folks...there's much worse things we can call people.

That's fair to say Cuervo buddy, but at the same time I think where people reside & their social circles plays a big part.
I don't currently know any gay people, but I also don't know any outwardly homophobic people either.
And I know quite a few people.
