    It is no one’s responsibility to help you stay in the closet, and “openly gay” is useful and relevant to distinguishing whether or not someone is in the closet, which is pertinent to this topic.

      No it’s not? Either it’s common knowledge someone is homosexual or they’re not, “openly” really adds nothing to the conversation. “openly” implies they should be ashamed of it, hence the comment you were answering to.

        It can also imply that past leaders were gay and not open about it. Like our Dandy President James Buchanan.
