I'm not even bullying. The irony of this when Devon has suffered discrimination for being LGBT, yet makes fun of gays coming out.

This is far too common, though. So sad how even within the gay community, we struggle to accept others.

Definitely not. No need to trivialise being LGBT that way.

Granted, I wish coming out was less important and didn't feel obligatory, but that is completely the wrong way to go.

If being gay isn't an issue and only a small trait, then shouldn't it be trivialized? Gays always are like "I'm gay, it's no big deal." Then they're quick to fling their wrists in your face, invite you to gay pride, and incessantly mention their love for dick.

Wow, drag them!

I think the problem with the idea of straight people coming out is that there are still straight people who mock, victimise, target, etc.., gay people, so to adopt something that is so integral to gay culture/being gay would kind of be the ultimate insult, because gay people struggle with it and deal with the consequences of coming out every day. Maybe it would make sexuality less important, who knows, but... I don't agree with the idea of straight people "coming out". (And coming out of what exactly? Heterosexuality is still seen as the norm. An innocent until proven guilty tea.)
