I think that this ad is mis-categorised. It draws an anology between the ridiculousness of having to come-out as a non-vegetarian and a gay person. It sheds coming out in a positive light: a difficult and often painful process but one based around irrelevance and non-issue.

I don't think this commercial was inappropriate. Instead of humiliating the LGBT community, I think this commercial tactfully makes use of the difficulty of coming out, exposing the mainstream media to the process, while not being pejorative in any way. Sure, it's funny, but hey I laughed, and my coming out was much worse.
