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.   

Then how do we know your do?

Anyway, he wanted to make a speech about his experiences and striving for a goal.  Part of that was his being gay and not telling anyone/everyone.  The simple fact that dismiss that as an important part of his life shows how difficult it was for him to say it at all, let along in his speech.

Honestly, I bet most people knew anyway.

Honestly, I bet the principal is just a jerk anyway.

Honestly, I'd have applauded him either way.
