When people are comfortable and confident with their sexuality it becomes a part of normal conversation. This is the same case with heterosexualty, and can be seen in the main undercurrent within the internet community for "boobs," pictures of boobs, "pics or it didn't happen," women -> kitchen, etc. The only reason it seems like the LGBT 10% is loud is because it's 10% of the discussion, and people more easily recognize and remember anything in a minority.
In other words, we're just as loud as you, but people take notice because there aren't as many of us as you. Sorry to be grouping in that previous sentence but I couldn't think of any better way to phrase it.
