Why are the majority of gays in this fandom so anti-hetero?

MY BROSEPHS
Like seriously, I have no problem with gay or bisexual people, some of my best friends are gay/bi. It's who they are, and I wouldn't want them to be anyone else. But when gays start dissing and hating on straight people or people who prefer the opposite sex, that irks me. That's hypocrisy on the next level.
Seriously, you wouldn't believe how much straight and/or female art I see on FA where you have gay guys (I say guys because I really haven't seen any such comment by a woman yet) going "needs moar dick" or "EWW WOMeN ARE GROSS", etc. That fucking pisses me off. You guys get mad when people persecute you for being gay, yet you're fine with treating others the same way just because they're not the same as you? Not everyone likes the dick, not everyone thinks females are nasty.
Like, I'll sign on to FurSpace now and then and check the online list. Usually, 90% of the people online are male, and of that 90% 2/3rds are gay or bi, and at least 2/3rds of those are anti-straight. I'm bisexual; I'll freely admit it. I didn't like the fact at first because I was always worried about how my parents would see me, since they're opposed to homosexuality. But I learned to live with it and not care, because I don't openly share my sexual preference around family or RL friends. It's just not something I need to talk about, or want to, and it works fine for me.
So seriously, if you're gay, bi, lesbian, trans, good for you, I have no problem with it and I wish you the best, especially my gay/bi friends. But if you're one of those gays that likes to leave stupid fucking comments like "needs moar dick" or "boobies are gross" or "not homo enough," fuck off. That's inconsiderate, rude, and fucking bigoted.

I dunno...I guess I just tend to ignore stuff like this? I mean, if someone honestly feels that way, why would you lend any creedence to their statement or opinion? People are ignorant in lots of different ways, I don't think this is something that is any more or less prevalent than any other kind of ignorance, it's just that most of us tend to gravitate towards certain social circles and see a lot of the same kinds of people more than we might see a large group of people with a wider variety of opinions and interests.
The only problem I really see woth the furry community in general is the problem I see with humanity in general. We tend to form these incredibly insular groups, and while that can be an empowering thing, it's going to have it's downsides-elitism and the fact that you're going to notice things like an over-exaggerated prevalence of comments like the ones you mentioned. I don't really 'fit in', even in the furry community, I think I tend to see a bit wider a range of personalities as a result. It's really not as bad as you make out. That, and some folks (like me) tend to say it in a joking fashion. I happen to like females. When Kurz and I first met, I thought he WAS female, so i'm the last person to be 'EW, VAG'. I mean, anyone who is gay and discriminates towards others for ANY reason is a fucking cockwaffle.
That's why I respond to these sort of things. At least I know that I'm fighting the good fight.
