No it couldn't. You can use your eyes to see other people of the same race or similar as you.
People aren't beaten and killed for liking chess or being geeks as a general rule. The sort of bullying you get for being in band has nothing on what a gay boy can receive in a small minded town.
It's a lot harder, and in many places far more dangerous, to be LBGT.
Religions are about the only other group that are on equal footing for sheer bigotry and invisibility, and those you can attend churches, synagogues and similar to find your own kind.
The average 14 year old has virtually nothing to help them connect with other LGBT people easily and safely.
