I mean, let's remove the LGBT narrative for a second. We had kids like this at my high school too except they were called emos and acted like snobs and better than everyone too. The historical civil rights of gay people are not playing out in this high school. Popularity contests are playing out in his high school. LGBT just so happens to be the popular thing at his high school. 

It's best not to put all these heavy implications on it when the kids aren't seeing it that way. The snooty gay kid that did something annoying is just the snooty annoying kid to his peers

Man, that’s strange. Because I was emo in highschool and was constantly told that I’m not worth shit, I am weird, and I just want attention. I liked to think I was actually pretty nice when someone gave me a chance, but of course I wasn’t going to smile at everyone passing by, because I didn’t know if they would scald me or not. Maybe that could be how you interpreted the way they presented themselves to others? I could be wrong, seems like our high schools were different.
