"I don't know how this conversation got here, but I would say that coming out as a homosexual to the world takes a little bit more courage then affirming your faith in the Lord"

I strongly disagree. "Coming out" as a Christian in an extremely public setting like during an Oscar speech is a risky career move.The mainstream media and especially Hollywood is far, far, far more tolerant of someone coming out as gay vs giving thanks to God and acknowledging their Christianity . MM risks being labeled a bigoted zealot while the other example will earn almost universal praise from Hollywood and the mainstream media. That's not to say it was a "risk" on MM's part because a Christian actor would never be offended by the idea of publically giving thanks and praise to God for an Oscar. It DOES however take some courage to "come out" so to speak in such a unfriendly environment though.

He was swimming naked in my grannies neighbors pool in the nude a couple years back.
I spoke with him for about 20 minutes. At this time I still partook and offered him but he respectfully declined.
After he put his clothes back on obviously. This was in Zachary.

Except he is not being labeled a bigot zealot and that environment is not Christian unfriendly like you are making it sound.
