I think people make it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is. It's part of who a person is, but just because they didn't tell someone they were gay or bi doesn't mean they're a different person after they tell them. That reaction is always really stupid.
Being gay in public-- awesome. Shove it in the faces of those straight kids.
No, I'm kidding. But gay pride is important, and the more you show it, the less misunderstandings you'll have with people who aren't sure what your preference is exactly.
I think it's really important for kids to be able to express themselves, like being able to dye their hair or decorate their stuff and such (PG-13 and under, of course). So yeah, gay pride is really important.

Its kinda like judging a book by its cover or when u look @ food and u say its disgusting before u even taste it. We as humans will always be judging. But sometimes we gotta learn to control that -

I hate that we have to even "come out". Why can't we just, simply, BE? It's frustrating that people assume and expect us all to be straight...So, personally, I think coming out should be as natural and ahhh...how do I put this...(I'm not feeling very eloquent today, lol)...simply as possibly I suppose.
I don't think it's healthy to repress any feelings, ever. I also don't think it's the best way to deal with your emotions by saving it all up for a big moment where you shout to the world, "I'M HOMOSEXUAL!!!!!"
Being gay in public is just like any other relationship. If you don't mind public affection, don't let having a same-sex partner get in the way of that! LOVE LOVE LOVE, baby!

I think that as an individual, coming out isn't necessarily essential. I mean, it's important to be true to yourself, and if you feel the need to tell someone, then by all means do it. But I do think that there is a great benefit to society when people come out. It is important that we break the silence of homophobia and the invisibility of the LGBT community in our culture, and the more people who come out, the easier that will be. I think that, in the ideal world, people wouldn't need to come out, because sexuality would be just as mundane as your favorite food or taste in music. But right now, as long as people can do it safely, i.e. not somewhere where they will get killed or beaten for it, they should come out and show the world that we're here and perfectly "normal," thank you very much! Come out, come out, wherever you are!!! -
