In my experience, having been openly gay since the age of 18 (I'm now 27), the answer about whether gay people would be more accepting of DL is a big NO! In fact I recently spoke to another gay DL who said he would never let on about the DL thing to his friends on the gay scene, and I can well understand why. I can't judge from the viewpoint of the US, but in the UK the gay scene is very very hard, you have to look a certain way, and be a certain way, and if you don't fit into line with this "gay bible" you are gossiped about and slandered (e.g. I was looked down upon, just because I had a different accent), so if you opened up to one gay person who you knew in one bar about being a DL, it would be around all the other bars by next week and people would point and stare and go, errrr he wears nappys (what we call diapers over here), what a freak! Off the scene, I don't know, it depends how/where you meet people, for example, if you meet gay guys into scat/ws (i know some people think this is gross, which is fair enough if your not into that kind of thing) are very accepting of DL's and are often willing to try it, and many other fetishes themselves.
