I have seen this a few times now, and I am somewhat confused.

I wish to preface this with saying that I am not attempting to lessen anyone's courage. However, I feel like this may be a part of American culture that I am somehow not understanding.

Are there cultural reasons behind the announcements of sexual preference? I understand that in this country this month is used to champion the sexual spectrum and those across it who have faced prejudice, I took a gender studies course last year and we discussed Stonewall, I am aware of the ramifications there.

What I am struggling with is the reasons behind these things. Can anyone explain them? Is there such a way to do that?

I think it's a societal expectation that your default sexuality is straight so the moment something steps out of that neat little box it becomes a matter of either hiding it or actually "coming out" because if you're not out you're living in the closet.

Weirdest fucking thing ever.

I don't tend to assume shit, seems to work out well.
