There is only one reason a gay person ever feels the need to keep their sexuality private: fear of ostracization. That ostracization is very specifically created by people who are anti-gay - especially public personalities who are anti-gay. Heterosexuals are not in any way closted because their sexuality is deemed "normal". Homosexual people should be out, just as heterosexuals are out. If an anti-gay politician feels discomfort at being outed for their homosexuality - they have brought that entirely upon themselves.
