Earlier this month, we celebrated national coming out day. During our rally at the free speech zone, I shared my own coming out story, or the lack thereof. You see, the choice of coming out on my own was taken away from me. It wasn't in my own terms and I still feel violated whenever I think about it. I will not go on with the details of my coming out process, I mean... it is after all a never ending process. But it got me thinking about others out there who were forced to come out, or were outed by someone else.

I was just wondering, in the matter of coming out of the closet, are we helping the cause when we push someone out of the closet? Or are we hindering it? Under what circumstances is this ethically permissible? If you are dating someone who's still in the closet, should you demand them to come out? Or say, you're a public figure, does everyone need to know what your sexuality is?
