Whether your chapter hazes or not, when freshman rush they rush with the pre-conceived notion that they are going to be hazed. No matter how little or how much your chapter's reputation is for hazing, guys do expect it because of the stereotypes that fraternities have.

Now, if I was rushing a fraternity with an openly gay brother, my first thought is going to be...what if the gay brother tries to haze me in that way.

Again, before some idiot starts yelling about how wrong I am-I am simply saying how many freshman are going to view the situation.

The end effect is that it is going to cripple your recruitment. Maybe on your campus the top frats/sororities do have openly gay memebers and then again maybe we have different standards as to what qualifies a chapter being the best.
that says a lot about your character if you think, or if you perceive your PNMs will think like this.

do you honestly believe that every gay man has an attraction to everyone with a penis?

i think if you know from the beginning that you are unwilling to accept gays/minorities or whoever into your organization, you should have the balls to say "hey, we really dont want "X" types in our org. seriously, screw all these anti-discrimination laws and being PC.

only in a perfect world...
