That's exactly my take on it, because for the most part the gay guys were fairly well balanced and did not exhibit any detestable personality flaws, they were just gay.
There were one or two overly aggressive types but I suspect their issue had less to do with their sexuality and more to do with what they were taught by their parents and peers.

Simply put, they were bullies. Gay bullies but bullies just the same.
The only sticky problem in all of this is the fact that it was circa 1969 or so, and pretty much none of them would actually admit to being gay, not in the open sense of the concept.
They weren't "out".
