It annoys me when someone "comes out"
I thought that being homo/bisexual was accepted now, why do people feel the need to " come out"? It's sad.
When do you think homo/bisexual people will no longer need to "come out"?

When being straight isn't the "default" sexuality.
+ Coming out isn't bad. It is a part of the gay rights movement and it is a milestone for whoever the person is.
++ Non-Hetrosexuality isn't globally accepted

Being heterosexual will always be the default, because naturally it is the default of pretty much every vertebrae on earth.

The very instant teenagers cease to commit suicide due to homophobic bullying across the planet. So realistically it won't be within our lifetimes, maybe we can stop it in the UK, Australia, maybe even America but across Africa? The Middle East? I highly doubt these places will even stop state-sanctioned murders of LGBT people let alone get to the point of cultural acceptance within the next 100 years.

When people like you realise it shouldn't even be a problem to see "coming out" as a bit of a negative thing.

Because in certain corners of society and the world, being gay is still a stigma and is not acceptable.

That's only because we've assumed that everyone was straight for so long

Good. It makes me happy that it annoys you. Annoying self obsessed third party white noise without realizing is part of the benefits.

Well the majority of the population is straight, the assumption will always be that someone is straight. Thus there will have to be some kind of coming out process whereby a homosexual reveals his/her sexual preference.

I only came out to a couple of people about a year and half ago. I now have a bf and have just been telling people I have a bf and they're like 'oh okay, what's his name can I see a pic'. I never really felt I had to come out properly to most people, 1) because it's fairly obvious I'm gay, 2) because coming out is something that you're going to do on a daily basis all through life, choosing one moment in time where you're going to tell everyone just seems a bit ceremonial to me, I know it's a milestone for many gays, but never felt that way to me.

In addition to what's already been said: so long as there are religions in which homosexuality/homosexual sex is viewed as a negative/a sin and as long as there are religious parents upholding such beliefs and just assuming that their children will enter straight relationships/marriages, then there will always be a need for some people to come out

Never. People usually assume that others are heterosexual. This is completely understandable since most people are heterosexual. But it doesn't help that heterosexist attitudes still exist.

Since homophobia these days is the exception rather than the rule, it seems we are fast approaching the time when the act of coming out will be redundant.

Maybe so, but the term coming out seems a bit silly if the person you're coming out to's first response is going to be "meh". It's not as if anyone ever comes out as left handed.

It doesn't matter. Gay people will always have to reveal their sexuality to others at some stage, since the majority of population is straight and the natural assumption is that any young adult will be straight. The response to coming out will be positive & supportive, but that doesn't mean the act of coming out will ever be redundant, that just doesn't make any sense.

There's a correlation between an increasing population and the percentage of homosexuals. I read a report about it once, fascinating really. It could be possible that there will come a time where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals.
