196063, But was it a teachable moment?

Had you taken a moment to address them after the film instead of in the moment in anger do you think it would have done any good?

A provocative reaction in the moment probably wouldn't have done much, however after the movie had ended there may have been an opportunity. Even then what exactly is the maturity level of a group of girls who say "eww" while surrounded by other girls? Is it a true measure of their beliefs or of their desire to be noticed and appreciated by their peers? Could they have appreciated anything that you said to them? One on one, possibly but in a group, doubtful.

I doubt they know you to single you out and I'm sure that "gay" isn't the only thing that you are. Which is why I doubt it was a personal attack whether or not they guessed that you were gay. They were making their ignorance known and attempting to bond over their shared judgmental deficiencies.
