Wait.. but being gay is also a spectrum. It's a bad example. Or am I not getting the point? It's just less socially accepted to admit it, which is why people would deny it.
I'm pretty sure being gay is less stigmatised. At least in Northern and Western Europe. Can't speak for the rest of the world. In Norway there's a hierarchy of stigma. From most accepted to least it goes:
Straight white Norwegians
Gay white Norwegians
Straight non white Norwegians
Straight white foreigners
Gay non white Norwegians
Gay white foreigners
