Actually, that's a myth: there is something worse than falling in love with a straight guy.
Try falling in love with a gay guy who's not into you. He wants to be your friend, and he likes you and all, but he doesn't want to fuck you or kiss you or anything like that. He wants to do so with other guys, just not you.
At least with a straight guy, you can blame his lack of interest in you on the fact that you're not a girl. With a gay guy, the only thing you can blame is your lack of hotness. And that, my friend, sucks.
But you know, that's the nature of the beast. You can paddle around in the shallow end and experience small pains and small pleasures, or you can get out into the ocean and experience everything to the nth degree. You can sit around falling in love with straight guys the rest of your life, which isn't as painful as it is irritating, and never give yourself a chance to fall in love for real; or you can get out there and meet some gay guys who may or may not want you... the rejection is more painful, the the acceptance is sweet.
I was just about to post something similar myself.
