Not exactly my taste.

I think Liam offers a good explanation and I'm late to the game due to bad airplane internet, but I want to offer my answer as well (even though it may be a little redundant). :)

Because engaging in all those things mentioned *IS* coming out. Coming out doesn't have to be standing on a table, waving a flag, and saying "I LIKE TO SUCK COCK!" through a megaphone. Introducing someone to your same-sex partner is coming out. ANY time you inform someone you're not straight, you're coming out.

Straight people let others know they're straight EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. They talk about their wives and kids, have pictures of their family on their desks at work, hold hands and kiss in public, go on dates, go out in public with their partners, talk about their attractions, all NON STOP.

Yeah, straight people do, all the time. Marriage and anniversary celebrations, proms and dances, dates, public displays of affections, etc.

That's because "homophobic" isn't the right word to describe you. A more accurate word is "bigot", "asshole", or "anachronism".

"You choose how low you let your tank get before stopping for gas(below half a tank means quite a bit lost as vapor)." Is bullshit.
