I love how his character will raise awareness.
Nate (his character) is surrounded by "macho" people who practice MMA and they're all so "heterosexual" all about girls and partying and whatever and then you have him coming out in that environment. It'll break the stigma.
The writer of the show also said this. And they'll show how difficult it actually is to come out.
Considering most of the audience who watches the show is mostly like that, this is gonna be great for the gay community.
