Meh, as long as the discussion is valid I've never minded them myself. It's up to the mods if they see this and are displeased, but I'll chip in anyway.
Living in the UK as I do, I'd say coming out as gay is definitely harder. Most of my gay friends have said they waited a while to come out, and the reactions from the families ranged from neutral to slightly frosty. So altogether not bad in comparison to some countries. However, pretty much everyone I know these days is an atheist or a very relaxed christian or muslim, and I personally have never gotten so much as a raised eyebrow from saying I'm an athiest - except from the two creationists I went to college with. Mein gott.
So it's very subjective and dependent on the country, region and social circle, I guess.
