I often ask this question of gays of my age range. I can remember the 80s and 90s (Ancient) Is it more difficult or dangerous to be open about your sexuality now than back then. I say it is!
Being gay and open in society has always been uncomfortable or dangerous but now you hear some horrible stories of what happens to young gays. It maybe that in the 80s and 90s it was a new topic and gays were viewed as "Poor things, they need support and help" Now it has become obvious that being gay is not a rare "condition" and therefore the haters feel threatened. And there are a lot of haters out there!
