and coming out/making it known is a big deal because they arent treated the same as a guy/girl relationship. its like saying 60-70 years ago, "oh whats the big deal if they are in an interracial relationship, why do they want it be known or publicized?" hell to this day you will find some people that are uncomfortable or even against inter-racial marriage, that **** is very real, and homosexuality and gay relationships are not nearly as accepted as interracial ones. until they have the same rights as straight couples, they are going to make it very public.

i agree with sedale, whatever it takes to chip away at bigotry and hatred im all for. if that means people coming out publicly and people like magic publicly supporting him, then so be it. you cant compare it to a guy/girl relationship because its apples to oranges.

I don't know why at this point I expect some of you guys to actually read the post & follow along to what's being said.
