Straight people don't have to come out, as heterosexuality is assumed. And while that's good in many ways -- less stress during adolescence is certainly good -- it's not so good in other ways. Young straight people are less likely to question choices that their families and societies are attempting to make for them. Even worse, the culture has a way of convincing young straight people that they're somehow freely making choices that have actually been foisted on them.
