My last line in that paragraph " Much like I don't walk into a room and do the same." was probably unnecessary. However it (and I didn't explain this well) was to drive home the point that he's a brother just like the rest and shouldn't (IMO) have to make some giant announcement about who he is. In theory, they should accept him for the badge he wears. However (and this has been discussed here with transfers) that's not always the case.

I know what you intend to say but, again, heterosexuals make announcements practically all day and everyday. Heterosexuals don't necessarily walk around proclaiming and explaining for the sake of "pride" but it still boils down to pride in a sexual orientation that is not labeled as deviant.
Do you think he would walk into the meetings/gatherings and automatically say "hello, I am homosexual....?" Perhaps he would say something that heterosexuals say all of the time "my life partner/or significant other/or boyfriend/or husband, Tom, and I went to an awesome new restaurant today..." and that is how the "announcement" would happen.
