Dear Gays, We Need to Stop Judging Each Other's Coming Out Processes

FUSE TV - Dear Gays, We Need to Stop Judging Each Other's Coming Out Processes

By now, you've probably seen the comments The Real O'Neals star Noah Galvin made to New York magazine about Hollywood's gay scene which included slamming the coming out of fellow actor Colton Haynes. Less than 24 hours later, Haynes swiftly responded to the remarks and Galvin has since apologized, but the interview brought to light a very ugly side of the gay community that needs to be changed ASAP—especially from its most famous members.

In his interview, Galvin deemed Haynes' kind-of-coming out-on-Tumblr and subsequent full-page-magazine-spread-confirmation-that-he's-out as "pussy bullshit." From the language alone, it's obvious this type of thinking is detrimental in calling a coming out as "bullshit," but Haynes isn't a model of acceptance either. In his retort, Haynes asked via an Instagram post, "Since when is a three pg article in Entertainment Weekly not an appropriate way to come out?"

The issue with both men involved is that there is an inherent judgement in the way someone has decided to reveal their sexuality, an extremely personal process without any type of rule system. Twenty-two-year-old Galvin told New York he was frustrated how in L.A. "half of the men are closeted and the other half are just dumb" and how "gay boys my age are either club kids or they're in college and they haven't come out yet and they're still DL on Grindr." Meanwhile, Haynes defends his actions by pointing out that a magazine spread is a great way to come out.
