Yeah, and I absolutely understand getting carried away with something and thinking you're doing good without realizing that what you're doing/saying isn't necessarily the best thing for a particular group. Being ally is really hard, since it's so much about listening and trying to understand and sympathize with different viewpoints. Balancing between "I feel passionately about this" and "this is not about me" is not easy. It's no wonder if you make mistakes and that's fine. I only hope that allies wouldn't take it personally if they get called out on something, because usually it doesn't mean "we don't want your support", but "could you maybe support us by doing/saying x instead of y?".

(I'm queer too, and I don't think he's a homophobe - just ignorant, privileged and his comments are poorly worded. I absolutely agree that it would be great if more people in the entertainment industry (well, people overall) would have the attitude that one's sexuality doesn't really matter. The problem here is saying that "no one cares", because clearly that's not true (especially in an industry that is so fond of very traditional representations of gender and sexuality), and, exactly, expecting that everyone would want to come out even if the atmosphere was positive. Or should. Which I think just makes his comments sound ignorant.)
