This is a huge problem with this whole situation of Shawn having anxiety over his sexuality. Almost everyone on here thinks it's "not a big deal" because they haven't gone through what he's going through. If you could even pull your head out of your ass for one second and realize not everyone is in a position to live their lives freely and as who they truly are like you, then you'd understand how much anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts having to suppress your sexuality to this degree causes. Complaining that he should "just come out" and how he's being homophobic by not doing so is so ignorant and closed-minded.
Living in a society that rejects homosexuality and having a homophobic upbringing psychologically fucks the shit out of you. Speaking from experience if you were brought up with the mentality that homosexuality is wrong and constantly seeing homosexuals shunned around you, you will never feel comfortable coming out even if you feel support from friends, social media, or fans in his case. There are things we don't even know about Shawn's upbringing like how his family views homosexuality, but he has said that he's been bullied for being in choir and god knows what he's gone through while being in Magcon. It's such a stressful and anxiety-ridden situation that you're forced into, and I can't even fully describe how irritating it is to see posts like these that say that it isn't a big deal because it's a spit in the face to the people that actually have to go through it.
My overall point is don't be ignorant and leave the guy alone, you can tell he's going through this huge crisis with his sexuality. The last thing you want to hear is him committing suicide over you annoying, inconsiderate fucks.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
