yeah, glam rock wasn't gay. everybody back then knew it was just a circus act.  by the 80s, it was disco that was perceived as gay. disco had a lot of gay fans and the legendary studio 54 was actually a bisexual nightclub where a lot of drag queens hung out.  hollyweird was really pushing disco to become "america's music", but blue collar america pushed back and chose rock and country instead.
