Is being Gay and open more dangerous now?

[Cuddly]

I would imagine it to be alot easier now, than it was then. Naturally coming out spreads alot faster now, than it would have before. It's literally three clicks on facebook and the entire world knows your sexual orientation.
So in cases of outing, it would be worse. But intentionally coming out, has never been better (I say that without having experienced the 60s 70s 80s or 90s as gay)

I don't think my peers consider me any different. I just dress better. I say "that's what he said" instead of "that's what she said"... That's about the only difference, except for the actual sexing, and I'm confident my peers feel that way too. I am openly gay at the university and even the faithful muslims are friends.
I don't shine bright like a diamond though, so one could say I am easier to tolerate than other more flamboyant gays. I don't hold back on gay jokes though!

URGH I almost forgot one thing! I had a few friends who refused to believe I was gay (coincidentally, these friends (happened on more occassions) were all muslim). That makes coming out harder today than it was before!
Imagine being laughed at with a "pfft.. yeah right!" comment thrown in at the end, when you're sincerely coming out to somebody. That's hurtful.
