Yeah... the mistake here is that we know everyone else is into dudes, so the shame/embarrassment of hiding homosexual behavior doesn't have the same weight
Surround Ty and Joe with frat boys who may "play gay" but very much have girlfriends, and it carries more weight. If he set this a decade or more ago and had blatant homophobia (several places still have that today, and I'm not even talking about Muslim/Arab countries which have tons of homosexual behavior despite officially being anti gay), it would have MORE weight.
