So another way to put it is... If no celebrities or CEOs came out ever, would we be as open as a society towards homosexuality? Ellen, Elton John, Anderson Cooper... all straight, or presumably so. I can't see a situation where in this hypothetical world, it would be easier for gay people to live openly. I think it absolutely makes a difference. It is sad that they have to, and it's sad that is a newsworthy event when they do come out, but it is necessary.
