How do you feel about the gay stereotype? Can you understand it?

Someone else asked this as a mental health forum, they had an LGBT section, and there was a not so small consensus among gay people that they just don't get it, and that it doesn't help the perception of homosexuality among the general population.In preparation for the Mardi Gras, the ANZ bank here in Australia embellished some of their ATMs with designs such as a psychedelic diamond looking structure, a comic book style theme with an image of two jacked up superheroes locked in a kiss, glittery rainbow designs, and others. They are called GAYTMs.I can understand where this subculture comes from. Gay people have had to live with being someone that society does not accept, and someone seen as being alternative to society. Normally they have had to hide, but now that they have come out, or are accepted, they feel free to embrace the strange, almost as a defiance to society's expectations of them.Weird shit makes people feel uncomfortable, and for a long time, homosexuality made people feel uncomfortable, but that is who they are. This explains the lisp as well. Some gay people put on that feminine voice because society expects them to conform to the definition of masculinity, in line with their sex.When you look at what homosexuality is, though, it is a sexual or romantic attraction/relationship to people of the same sex. That doesn't seem, on the face of it, to have anything to do with psychedelic ATMs.Where do you draw the line in terms of this stuff, and do you think it makes the perception of homosexuality worse?
