I haven't submitted any such articles and so haven't experienced what you
mentioned.  However I suspect from other experiences I've had that there
is a good probability that the "ignoring response" will probably happen on
the net also.  After all how many people "come out" to someone and get
no response from the other person at all. Then that someone appears to 
forget you ever told them and asks when you are getting married.
Or you mention your lover or anything that relates to your sexual 
preference and they ignore what you said and change the subject.
And these people are often family or close friends. I doubt if the average 
person on the net is less homophobic.  At least friends and family hopefully
have more motivation to deal with their homophobia.
