In his estimation, their behavior is childish and in poor taste. Another gay dude told me he had a hard time scoring because he hated gay bars and preferred to hang out with regular guys, which left him with a small dating pool. He had a really blunt attitude about his sexuality - "You like chicks, I like guys - we both go out drinking looking to score - not much difference".

This is very interesting.
Most men I know (gay or straight) tend to express the same thing. There is something about putting your business in someone else's face that tends to make people a little uncomfortable. And it really freaks them out if they have a political, social, or religious objections to your relationship.
For example, about 9 years ago, I had a black boyfriend (quelle surprise). Back then, all those years ago, people were incredibly rude to me when we would be together in public. You could see the look of disgust on men's faces when he would put his arm around me or hug me. Men would pull doors shut as I would enter a store behind them, or make comments loud enough for me to hear, if my bf stepped away for an instant. (He was big enough to have them check themselves if he was right there.)
It doesn't matter what the relationship is, people will be uncomfortable when they encounter the manifestation of something to which they object.
