Most people your age and younger likely have no concerns or would negatively think anything about it. Of course there are always a few... Don't let the attitudes of a few bother you. Everyone offends a few.
As a person's age gets older they are more likely to not be comfortable with it. I'm in my early 60's and among my generation there are still a sizable amount of people who are bothered by anything but a mono-heterosexual relationship; although most are polite enough about it to not let it interfere with most social relationships.
Having the anxiety is normal. I suggest that you join a group with people of "mixed" non-monohetro people - and you will soon learn that the vast majority of people in the world that you will interact with won't care.
I note that there are a larger number of people of all ages who are bothered more by people who insist of shoving there sexuality in other people's face (same for color, ethnicity, race). OK, you are gay (or whatever). In general I don't need to know that and what you do with your friends is not my concern; and if I do you don't need to tell me over and over many times and insist that I treat you "right" because you are "whatever". I, and many other people, are not going to treat you as well as other because you are being a jerk by constantly making an issue of your sexuality (color, ethnicity, race, etc). Personally, I treat people based on their attitudes and willingness to apply themselves to take care of themselves and others.
Is it normal to have anxiety over being gay?

I'm not making an issue asshole. I said I have anxiety over being gay. Nowhere in my post did I make an issue of it.
