Since I can't find the /a/ thread so as to not feed trolls, TROLL FEEDING IT IS.
I have never experienced what it is you're talking about. Any time I, aged 12-16 (when I first got into anime + was a moron), saw a guy who was doing anything that had to do with yaoi, I got very excited (unless it was of the 'yaoi sux, ur all fags' variety). We dressed out male friend up as a school girl and went to conventions, where he got very good reception. Male cosplayers in yaoi pairings always got extra attention.
Of course, back then, there WAS no "yaoi section" for a male to be browsing through to get weird looks in, but nobody would give a guy weird looks for being the in the yaoi showing room/yaoi panel, unless there was something very obviously Odd One Out about them (such as, they reading H manga while watching Mirage of Blaze).
The main reaction I've seen fangirls get towards gay men is giggly blushing. That does not mean there isn't a minority out there who are okay with yaoi, but don't like RL gay, because they're out there, but I don't at all think they're the majority.
