The thing is, most of the LGBTQ* groups in the UK are encouraging exactly the same thing. They're pushing for more people in the public view to come out as part of the effort to combat homophobia in the public perception. It's a message that every pro-LGBTQ* source over here is pushing for - "Hey, people are gay, it's not a big deal". It's pretty easy for an unthinking or ignorant ally to coopt the same message.

There's this assumption that, because there are so many gay people in film and TV that activism has done it's work there, when really it hasn't. It's easy to create a seemingly hostile environment, even if nobody has any problem with such things, if nobody talks about it. If we start attacking people for things being "not his place", we risk encouraging a "don't say gay" mentality, where the only support for queer individuals comes from the gay community itself. While the community is great, it's not an adequate enough support network to make everyone feel safe to come out to the people they care about.

Freeman's kinda proved a number of times that he's blunt and doesn't think before he says something. I know intent isn't magical, but (while he deserves a kick in the shins for his wording), I'm not going to attack him for a supportive sentiment?
