Is being Gay and open more dangerous now?

If you are a "Screming Queen" wanderng around the streets of Detroit or similar, you're asking for it.

I live in the Detroit area. A screaming queen wandering around Detroit would definitely have to be careful, like anyone else would, but I would be much more worried about a white man from Kansas wandering around certain neighborhoods, as you would appear to them very vulnerable. If a screaming queen happens to be wandering around Detroit, they are probably going to figure there is nothing on his person worth having and is no threat to taking over anyone's turf. There is a lot of crime in Detroit, but they are almost all crimes of opportunity and gain and gangs.
