But the reaction to his announcement has mostly stayed true to the recent environment, in which high-profile coming-out statements are followed by a relative lack of controversy — perhaps a sign that LGBT orientations are no longer a viable wedge issue in the mainstream. “The issue may no longer help opponents of gay rights to win elections,” Richard Socarides wrote in the New Yorker.
