Does anyone in real life feel they have to be like this?

I'm not really sure what to make of Kenny's portrayal on the show. I got interested on this for the premise of the family getting honest with each other, but I never got around to seeing it until now. I started binge watching the whole thing this morning, and Kenny's overtness is getting hard to swallow, so to speak. I'm having a hard time feeling any sympathy for Kenny's struggles when his overbearing mannerisms practically chew the rest of his personality away: it's as if now that he's out, he's starting to overcompensate his need to blend in by acting in the way that he believes society would expect him to. Instead of actually taking the time to develop himself (which I consider the important part of these kinds of choices), he's more focused on "acting differently" to signify his new status, without actually pondering if what he's doing feels natural to him, or if he's just trying to service any preconceptions the outside world has of him.

I'm currently by episode six, and I've already witnessed Kenny poorly throwing a frisbee, screaming at the sight of a butterfly, and freaking out over hairstyles, amongst many other things. Does any of this automatically scream gay? I doubt so, but I'm willing to argue that none of these depictions make his cause seem more believable; and the character would've been just fine without behaving this way. If he were a real person, how could he hope to rediscover himself when he's more interested in putting up a show all the time? There's no need to present any kind of character this way, gay or not, unless you're aiming for an unlikable one.
