    It doesn't, and it's been proven scientifically that Gay Males are better at expressing and reading emotion than Heterosexual Males, which gives them a clear advantage in certain professions, such as acting, and the arts. This isn't considered Supremacist, as plenty of Heterosexual men have done well in the Arts, including Acting. The slight advantage Gay men have is slight and not a significant advantage. Human variation in the world shows that some groups have natural advantages do to specific traits in certain industries, this is just an example of evolution and what makes each group unique and valuable.

    Think OMG gay men are more in touch with their emotions means straight men are somehow disadvantaged is stupid. It just means that straight men who want to understand emotions better have to work a little harder to be just as good at it as gay men, and plenty of straight men go the extra mile to understand emotions, mostly so they can relate to the women in their lives, but they can an do.

    I don't know who did the "scientific proving" but there may be a danger in assuming that the reason they are better at those things is directly because they are gay.

    There is perhaps a correlation between "men who are in touch with their emotions" and "men who identify as gay", and the advantage is not given by being gay but by being in touch with their emotions. Therefore if you compare gay vs straight then a larger proportion of in-touch-with-emotions people are going to be in the gay group, skewing the results to appear that it has an advantage over straight, when actually a sensitive person is going to perform well regardless of their orientation.
