I can’t see him getting much abuse from fans. Not sure homophobia is that much of a thing to be honest. I’m sure we all know gay people - do you know any which are persecuted? The ones I know seem to be getting on just fine.
Agree on the commercial opportunities, but they'd be exactly the same whether there was this dripfeed or not. It also said that he'd only come out to family and friends a few days before making the account. You'd imagine he'd allow them more time than doing it publicly almost immediately.
