The Gay Community, if there is such a thing is as diverse as the general population.

That totally comports with my experience.
Waaay back in the Halcyon days of the Haight Ashbury, there was a fair quotient of gay and bi people, and within the community there was recognition of differences, but NOBODY escaped mockery. “Flamers” were lovingly mocked, straight and narrow types were chided, but there was real affection for the individuals involved. No snickering or hiding disdain, but rather blatant making fun of those we were/I was/they were unlike, while those I was unlike were unrestrained about returning the favor.
IMHO that was a healthy dynamic, but PC culture eventually disallowed such honestly opinionated expression. I think that was unfortunate. Honesty is not the same thing as meanness.

I was once invited to a party and was told, "It will all be flamers and screamers, but you'll have a good time." The food and the music was excellent.
