    I’m pretty much out to everyone who knows me on a personal level, and I don’t feel any social discomfort around those who remain closeted, i.e. those who only let other gay people know they are gay but hide it from family, work, etc. Almost all gay people have been ‘in the closet,’ and I sympathize with the constant struggle and emotional anguish this entails. The only conflict I’ve ever experienced between those who are closeted and those who are out occurred when I was still not out to my family. There are those people who have made the leap and come out of the closet, and who then look down on those who haven’t yet. This attitude that ‘I’m better than you because I’m out of the closet’ always bugs me. Every gay person comes out at their pace. No two people’s lives and situations are the same. We’re all in this together here.

    Humans engage in quite a few activities that animals do not practice, one of which is sex for the purpose of pleasure rather than reproduction. And sex for pleasure and love is as much a heterosexual practice as it is a homosexual practice. Homosexual activity has also been observed in a number of species of animals. So, there’s really no correlation between sexuality and ‘animalism’ as you seem to be inferring.
