Education, yes, to a degree, we are better educated than most of America. This is a good thing, because it gives us logic skills to argue against this stupidity.
Well, *openly* gay people tend to be better-educated. That's because having more education often means having skills that are in demand among employers, which in turn means better job security, and thus the freedom to come out without (as much) fear of losing your job.
In a society in which queer people were accepted as being equal to straights, I suspect there would be no difference in education levels between the two groups.
