Lewis Hamilton praised after wearing rainbow helmet in Qatar GP practice
This is kind of cool. The rich and the famous can and should be agents of change, considering their privileged status.

Is it just me or more and more women are coming out as queer (mainly bi, lesbian or pan)? I think its partly that men are very hard to be around (they have the audacity) and when married/partners to women they use weaponised incompetence.
weaponized incompetence When a person acts like they have no idea how to do something even though they definitely do. They do this so that later on they can act like they're the master at either to impress someone or get praise. Also known as strategic incompetence "I don't know how to do that, you do it" "Stop lying, everyone knows how to change a tire, weaponized incompetence is why you have no girlfriend" "Fine, (murmurs cartoon profanities)" by HumongousBazongas AvadaKedavra December 21, 2021 |

I don't think I ever heard of people regretting coming out if they chose to. Normally it's a huge relief and a burden off your shoulders.

Unquestionably there are positives to coming out as well, of course, and what you said about the negatives is also true. However, I am under the impression that, in general, almost everyone gets a nasty, negative reaction, especially when there are people out there who will use information against you the second something goes wrong. I dislike generalities, but I think it's tough to ignore this one.

I come from a conservative family on a small island in Eastern Europe and didn't actually get a negative reaction from anyone, including my right wing catholic family.
I don't know if you're speaking about your personal situation but most people also tend to imagine much worse things happening than what actually ends up happening when they come out. I think it's not that common to have a violently negative reaction from your family members, they really have to be a little crazy to do that. And even for society at large, especially in the developed west, it's more common for people to keep their retrograde opinions to themselves. It's also a matter of self-respect. People who choose to come out are normally tired of lying to others about who they are. Just my experience of course.

Yeah, some people get horrible reactions when they come out, but in the more progressive parts of the world that happens less and less, fortunately. I didn't have bad experiences either. And for me a bad experience would have had to be really severe to outweigh the good aspects. Personally I don't know anyone who didn't consider themselves better off for coming out afaik
