The latter is always worse, as I speak from this as someone who's bisexual/mostly gay. Even if you're outwardly bigoted at least you're honest about it, compared with people who if they can tell you're LGBT they might not cuss you out for it but will, say, withhold criticism from an idea for a TV cartoon you have and pretend they like it more than they actually do so you won't improve and will suffer. Many people nowadays realize that they can't be quite as bigoted outwardly towards LGBT people anymore so they're that word more passive-aggressively.
