^ This.

To people pressuring me to come out, I always said: did you ask your parents to sit around the table to talk about something, then did you say with difficulty "Mom, dad, I... I... I prefer rare steaks over medium ones"? I think not, therefore, I shouldn't have a talk with them to talk about MY tastes, either in love or in food, that's all.

seeing as im a firm believer that the whole act of "coming-out " is a form of self criminalization that really only serves the purpose of labeling so as not to conflict with the straight paradigm

What?

What?

meaning... i dont like coming-out bc i think its what straight people have guilted other people into doing so that they can differentiate between the faggots and the god fearing christians.

now... while i believe what i said earlier, im also partial to the notion that coming-out serves the wonderful purpose of creating a network of "understanding". (like we are really all that confusing) Either way, coming-out --just like every other aspect of human existence -- should be tailored to one's preference.

...but it doesn't matter, bc humans will always find some way of organizing things into nice little piles.

Yeah coming out is probably the scariest thing. I do think it is a very important thing to do, if I could redo it, I would do it by sitting everyone in my family down (like at dinner) and saying that you love them very much and tell them that you hope they will still love you after what you have to say. I believe in Harvey Milk's philosophy- if you come out- if everyone came out, then more people would be accepting and okay with it. I would encourage your friend to come out, but personally I would wait until I could support myself. I know it sucks, but the worst case scenario could be awful.
When you come out of the closet, according to a youtuber, it is like you are crushing your parent's dreams about you growing up with grandchildren and what not. I think it takes a lot of time for parents to be more accepting, my mother being one of the hardest people to accept me. However, he is still their child and anyone being treated poorly because of sexuality is crime against God (I am religious myself).

Just tell him that it'll all work out in the end, because it always does. No matter how hard it gets and how low things go, it can't rain all the time.
