I once worked for a marketing coordinator who said gay people SUCK at graphic design.
They have a tendency to overdesign and make everything ornamental and dainty.
Is this a stereotype or is there a blind spot when it comes to gay designers and good taste?
Let's see..
I know a gay guy who I finished my major with. He tends to be very trendy/hipster-ish with his designs. Very clean stuff however.
There's another gay guy I know who still hasn't finished the major. He's a type/editorial design freak. Very clean work as well, with lots of humour and puns. Interesting take I'd say.
There's a guy who I thought was guy but actually is trans and identifies as a woman. From what I remember in class, he wasn't the greatest designer and definitely overdesigned things. As far as I know he is actually now studying fashion design, apparently "graphic design was not his thing".
I also know a few bi/lesbian girls who are very good designers and illustrators. So yeah, I think your marketing coordinator is talking shit.

Gay people can be either good or bad at design, just like straight people can and often do suck at it. What type of genitalia you prefer doesn't mean shit when it comes to design sense.
Making generalizations about big groups of people is stupid and your marketing coordinator was being a bigot.

I was actually laughing at nem*.
*'nem' is a gender neutral pronoun equivalent to 'him'.
