Coming out is always a choice. It is not the only route for homosexuals.
There is this question thrown at me yesterday. “What are your thoughts about men who still refuse to come out even though the whole world already knows his sexual preference?” My answer was, “That's a little bit amusing, but I respect them. And I still believe "outing" is not a must.” The question is followed up with, “But if "outing" could mean he would be more assimilated with his community, then why not?” My reply, “It's really a choice. Could be that the homosexual don't like to get assimilated so he chose not to "out" himself.” Really, coming “out” is not a necessity for a straight acting homosexual and even pointless to those who are “obvious”. What is that for anyway?
