I'd like to say: thank-you, that hit me where I live.
I'd also like to say that "coming out of a closet [of whatever type]" can be done in many ways. It's not [should not] be about making yourself a stereotype to push diversity, but about being yourself as best as you can.
Sometimes it might mean wearing a pin of some sort, or participating in a protest -- but mostly it's about not having to lie when a particular topic close to your identity/existence comes up.
