"Homosexuals and the "homosexual lifestyle" are hugely over-represented in the entertainment media....." ake

I have a theory (in support of which I have neither fact nor research. lol) that may account for that phenomenon.

As it happens, I am straight. However I have a number of gay friends, of both sexes. In my experience, gay people tend to be introspective and bright and talented far beyond the general population, imo. My gay friends are articulate and aware and insightful; as I said, they tend to be introspective and pretty much know what is going on inside and around them.

Have I mentioned talented? Just about every gay person I know - and everyone of my gay friends is talented in more than one field. They paint, they play music, they write.

See where I'm going with this? I don't find it surprising that the gay population is heavily represented in the arts, and that includes the movies.
