Maybe, but I'm pretty sure it's just a socialization thing. Most people follow the leader, they don't want to risk expulsion from their in-group. Being LGB already makes us vulnerable, I can understand why someone wouldn't want to risk losing what little support they have.

That's how cults propagate, though, by preying on the vulnerable and desperate and lonely. It's easy to let someone else think for you, especially when you're tired from the fight. But we have to have the courage to do what's right, not just what's easiest.
