Anyway~ I think it's possible to celebrate coming out, without holding it against the people who don't? Because even though queers are a diverse group, coming out IS helpful to us as a group? Like, if Alice and Bob are both queer, and they work together but aren't particularly close. If Bob comes out, then Alice knows she's not alone, and if Bob's coming out is well-received, then she knows that if she did come out, she wouldn't be discriminated against. And if it's not well received, then at least her decision on whether to come out or not is going to be an informed one.
You're right that there are some Alices that wouldn't particularly care. You're also right that Bob doesn't OWE it to Alice to put himself on the line. Doesn't change that for most Alices, it would be a really helpful thing.
Sorry if I'm all scatterbrained and whatnot, I guess it's mostly just like... if coming out really doesn't matter to you, what's wrong with people celebrating something that means something to them? As long as it's not being used to shame people who aren't out, and I don't think it has to be.
