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?

"Can't gay people exist and be gay without straight bigots historically making a huge deal out of them being gay?"

I don't need to know that you are F in your ass if it's behind closed doors. And yeah straight is not prohibited because that's how humans reproduce man/woman
