- every time someone comes out, they have to publicize the shit out of it. - groiny Jul 2, 08:23 25
  - Coming out publicly is a way for celebrities to gain control of how they get talked about... because once they're out it *will* get talked about. - con_carne Jul 2, 08:37 13

        ignoring = unfairly criticizing it for "publicizing the sh!t out of it"? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:43 3
        
        I see "ANDERSON COOPER COMES OUT AS GAY!!!" and I say.... - groiny Jul 2, 08:43 2
        
        if he *were* actually shouting it from the rooftops like that, you'd actually have a point. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:46 1

        I honestly do not care one bit about it, other than that it seems like it has to be even talked about. - groiny Jul 2, 08:29 6
        
        The day the rest of America feels that way and stops defining my right for me, I'll agree -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 08:37
