Sexuality and identity are very closely tied together. Still lots of place in North America where an openly gay person would be made to feel 2nd class, a freak, a deviant, etc. A strongly Christian family might disown one of their kids for being gay. Not everyone is confident in their own sexuality if it differs from the norm. Maybe some think they aren't really gay despite their attraction and that if they marry it'll all work out?
I dunno. If I were gay I'd probably feel safe coming out in a big city in Western Canada. Large parts of the US, small town Canada, etc would be uncomfortable places to be openly gay probably.
