Scottish Secretary David Mundell MP has taken what is being lauded as the brave step to come out and admit that he is openly gay.

Well done him.
But why is it still an issue and why should people in his position (or anybody for that matter) be forced to announce their sexuality in the media?
It's 2016, not 1916, so why is it still an issue for so many people?
Good luck to him, I say, but it's just a shame that we haven't already sufficiently evolved as a society to the point where something like this isn't considered news any more.
Personally, I'd be more embarrassed about telling my family and friends that I was a Tory.
