From a heterosexual observer of the events of the last 20 years.
A generation of coming out has let everyone see gays as people, not as a threatening (to middle America) subculture (think "inner-city youth" for an example of that.) Instead of suffering rejection from their family and communities and moving to a gay urban mecca, more and more are staying right where they are, living as they always did. Not that there's anything wrong with moving to SF or another major city, but it's no longer the only option for living openly as yourself.
