The thing is that aren't any big named Hollywood stars who are out.

The closest one is Neil Patrick Harris. There are big name gay stars but none will come out because they know it will crush their career.

Until stars can come out, and it has no effect on their careers or public perception, it's a very big deal for the trailblazers to do so.
