He seems really intent/comfortable not telling anyone, and instead is more freaked out by people knowing... Not everyone has to "come out", but if they ever do, it should be by choice
preach
But obviously if he knew that they would be accepted by their friends and family they would want to tell everyone. Why not give him that reassurance instead? This isn't a matter of coming out or not if everyone already knows
Except it's still "coming out", bkoz it's literally from the queer person's perspective/comfort. Idk how some of y'all can't deal with the fact not everyone wants to do that.
HES NOT A FUCKING BABY JUST TELL HIM??? HE PROBABLY FEELS WORSE ABOUT KEEPING IT A SECRET FROM HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS/FAMILY AND NOT KNOWING HOW THEY WOULD REACT ANYWAYS
