Coming out is a challenge many closeted LGBTQ+ people struggle with. It requires a lot of mental, emotional and even logistical preparation.

If the news isn't received well, having a safe place to go is something LGBTQ+ people need to consider before coming out.

Everyone's journey is different. It is a person's prerogative to come out when they are ready to, without giving in to social pressure.

But this notion was lost on The View host Joy Behar who trivialized the process for closeted LGBTQ+ people by encouraging them to "just come out" at Thanksgiving.

Behar and her co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, were discussing the political topics that may come up at the family table during the holiday feast.

“I’d like to suggest to everybody out there, come out to your family this Thanksgiving," said Behar during Wednesday's program.

"Just come out! See what happens."

You can watch the clip, below.

Behar continued:

“If you’re gay, come out. Meaning be your authentic self. I’m old enough now, I know that life is short… I say that you should be yourself, this is my philosophy in life.”

Although her intentions might have been good, some people felt the frivolous nature of her encouragement was a bit out of touch with reality.









People didn't appreciate a significant moment in a person's life being treated so frivolously.






There was much sarcasm in response.



Her comment came as a surprise since Behar is a recipient of a GLAAD award in 2010 for discussing and raising awareness of the many issues and challenges LGBTQ+ people face.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
