Yep I have experienced this too. Or if you don't "look gay". It can be really disheartening to have that experience. 

It doesn't happen overnight but in time the most important persons opinion on your identity is your own. It took me awhile to stop caring about whether people thought I looked too girly to be gay but it happened and it doesn't matter to me anymore. 

Also, finding your people. The ones who support you no matter what make a huge difference
