No idea if Dan Curtis was a homophobe or whether it was all bluster. But DS was not remarkably different from other soaps at the time. There were a significant number of closeted actors working on various other soaps at the time. Most had come from theater. So, they could get the work done with a minimum of fuss and, probably more important to DC, they worked cheap. It was somewhat of a win/win situation for the actor, because even if they lost the gig, it would give them a current TV credit on their resume.
