Gays keep it to yourself u don't see straight people yelling out there heterosexual so why do u think we care about you when u "come out".

Because heterosexuals don't have to hide who they are. By publicly coming out, you see a "normal" face to homosexuality, and that there's nothing threatening about the person you were treating with respect before they came out. That's especially important in a team sport, where you now know that the gay guy is the same guy who played just as hard as you did, didn't hit on you in the locker room, etc. Coming out publicly helps to defuse the very issue.

You're right, absolutely disgusting and horrible.
