"
I don’t consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I’ve benefited from the sacrifice of others. So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy."
That's why
and it's not just about "banging" as you so eloquently put it
its about being able to be proud of a loving and caring relationship and be open about it, without fear of retribution and ridicule so the more people speak about it and tell everyone the more accepted and normalised it becomes = simple concept really.
