Not necessarily. The big difference is that Republicans have forced themselves into a close alliance with their fringe wing, which is fundie religionists. This magnifies a human foible into an act of hypocrisy.
If the Dems were to cater to their fringe wing, and a Dem politician got outed as a 'closet freak', the only response would be 'what took you so long?'.
BTW, my web research found that there was one openly gay Republican in Congress who actually served 10 years after coming out. There haven't been any since then.
