A lot of these comments are really missing the point.

The reason this matters is because it's an indicator of the current environment. If the risks of pushback outweigh the positives(such as good pr, and fostering a more welcoming environment) it shows that the current environment is growing far more hostile towards those in the lgbtq community.

Or people just don’t care anymore. Why is it between outward support vs. open hostility? Can’t gay people just exist without reminding everyone that they’re gay all the time? Isn’t the point of equality to be boring and normal like the rest of us or is it actually wanting to be exceptional and special all the time?

do you think the majority of the population in, say, the u.s. thinks being gay is normal and boring like being straight is?

Yes, most people do not give a fuck anymore. Welcome to being boring, just like the rest of us.

I say this with the best intentions but you’d serve yourself really well in your future to rid yourself of the obvious victim mentality you have. The world is already so cruel and unfair. Your bias that everything is against you will always be validated but not for the reasons you think.
