One this year gave a boring cliche speech (when we were freshmen, getting lost, blah blah blah). The other was pretty good and discussed his time at the school and talked about his generation and their unique perspective on the world (though I disagree with him lumping them in with millennials, but that's a whole other debate)
Neither felt the need to mention their religion or make people pray
How is you being gay relevant to the graduating class? With a prayer or thanking God at least the significant majority of the class can relate. Plus as a leader you taking the conversation off you and PF putting it back on the class.
Side note: I don't understand why "coming out" is a thing. Your gay who cares. I don't come out about liking women. Everyone acts like we should throw them a parade for announcing they are part of a fringe group.
