I can understand where you're coming from. There's one thing that I will say to that though. NEVER stop being yourself. If people are going to look down at you or otherwise stare, I say make it worth their while. More often than not, men who act all homophobic are actually in denial that they do have at least some sexual attraction to men themselves, but are too ashamed to admit it to anyone for some reason. If they're gonna stare, give them something to stare at hehe….
That being said, I would take it as a compliment that such people notice you. That generally is a sign of interest, even though you may not necessarily be interested in them.
