Coming out of the public closet

I wonder why every time a celebrity (or former celebrity) decides to come out of the closet, it's all over the news. It seems like the cool thing to do lately. Honestly, I don't care if someone is gay, straight, none of the above, or enjoys farm animals. What you do behind closeted doors is your own thing. I think if you're gay that's your own business but it's not necessary to release a statement and it be all over the news. If gay people want to be treated like every other person then we need to quit glorifying them and just say SO WHAT. I've felt this way for a long time, but I'm just in awe over how frequently it's occurring lately. Every other day some "celebrity" is announcing they are gay. I use the term celebrity loosely because these days its more one time child actors than anything. Who really cares if some obscure child actress from the 80s grew up into a lesbian. Good for you now go back under the rock you're been under and stop trying to drum up some publicity to try to catapult yourself into another 15 minutes of fame.
