Should everyone "come out"?

A friend of mine sent me a link to an article he thought was good, so I checked it out.(here) The man who wrote is is espousing the idea that every sexual minority should "come out" and that if they did, then that would cause people to understand them better, and love them more, etc. The man has good intentions, but I see holes in his idea. I don't think everyone should come out that has same-sex attractions. Should guys like me feel more free to admit our struggle in the church? Yes, a thousand times yes, but the idea of everyone coming out? No. I have issues with that idea.

1) It would be a tool the gay militants would use to further their cause. The people who come out would be used by the gay militants to further the gay agenda

2) It would encourage young people to come out who may overcome their youthful SSA and go on to overcome it and live a heterosexual life..... and in general, it would encourage people to be gay and not try to overcome it.

3) It would encourage an acceptance of the sin, not just a love for the sinner

4) It would destroy families and marriages. Some women - or men - could not handle knowing their spouse struggles with the issue. Is that right? No, but its the truth.

5) The man who wrote it said "all sexual minorities." So what else is there? Bi-sexuals, transexuals..... if you go with "all" than what about the men in the man-boy love association? People who have sex with animals..... does he really mean "all"? There are a lot of different sex ideas out there now...... can you imagine if all of these people came forward and outted themselves?

   Would it wake the church up as he indicates, when they saw how many in their own midst deal with the issue? Hopefully, but I still don't think its a good idea. There is already a day set aside to encourage people to "come out", and it is political.

  There may be other reasons his idea is bad, but these were the thoughts I had upon reading the post.
