different from other people, and that society and other people treat you differently because of who you are.  We've seen several of these reminders on this board.  Coming out with an announcement is a way of saying that people who believe you are different and who treat you differently aren't going to bother you.

Another reason is that they remember back to when they were younger and they felt alone because they didn't have role models with experiences they could relate to like being picked on for who you are, or deciding to come out, or being accepeted by their friends and family (or not).  It's a way of saying to young gay people that they are not alone - that other people have been through what they are going through right now, and they've survived.

 

One nfl player will come out. He is gay!! mike255 Mar 26, 14:07

Out of the Closet? Or out of the Huddle? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 26, 16:05

Or worst of all - Out of the Lineup? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 26, 16:12

Why do people feel the need to publicly announce their sexual preference? Do they think it somehow justifies their choice? accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 17:03

actually, I thought the trend now was to mention it casually...like simply saying "me and my partner watched a movie" for example {nm} tealfan Mar 26, 17:15

That's what I would normally expect people to do as well. accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 17:21

I disagree. whitewalls Mar 26, 17:35

Fair enough. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 17:38

It isn't a choice... They were born that way and made in God's image. {nm} skamanfu Mar 26, 17:41

No, they weren't born that way. That kind of thinking is based on the fraudulent "research" done into sexual behaviours by Alfred Kinsey. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 17:45

You should look into the xq28 research. Scientific research. Not just a book touted as the truth {nm} skamanfu Mar 26, 17:50

here is an article from a Psychology Journal that I think you should read lapuckfan Mar 26, 18:11

I'm currently looking into the other claims, but any article that references Kinsey's "research" as valid should immediately be discarded. accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 18:44

Discounting the entire article based on Kinsey would be wrong. There is some fairly compelling medical evidence presented in there {nm} lapuckfan Mar 26, 18:54

And I'd like to point out that the numerous criminal claims on Kinsey's research have never been proved and are often motivated by agendas {nm} Moviesnob Mar 26, 20:26

Why do people feel the need to publicly announce their religious preference? Do they think it somehow justifies their choice? {nm} skamanfu Mar 26, 17:42

I think its beyond unfair and completely inappropriate for you to keep comparing homosexuality to pedophelia and rape {nm} lapuckfan Mar 26, 17:49

Exactly! There's a big difference between Christianity and bigotry. {nm} skamanfu Mar 26, 17:52

Why? The consent issue? accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 18:18

I believe the basis of you argument is completely misguided, & there is no convincing you otherwise, so what is the point of furthering this {nm} lapuckfan Mar 26, 18:26

See my response to your post about the article from a psychology journal. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 18:48

I can do this all day: BSmurf Mar 26, 21:13

*slow clap* {nm} skamanfu Mar 26, 22:14

Wrong, once again. accountant_4_Jesus Mar 27, 15:37

And another thing: accountant_4_Jesus Mar 27, 16:12

Wrong, once again... skamanfu Mar 27, 20:36

Whoops... I said I was done with this, but biggotry always pulls me back in. Why can't their be an 11th commandment? {nm} skamanfu Mar 27, 20:37

Haven't you ever heard of something called temptation? accountant_4_Jesus Mar 27, 21:45

You forget about a little thing called "Free will" skamanfu Mar 27, 23:30
