This is NOT about GAY PEOPLE or COMING OUT of the closet!!! I love this song too, it's chords and simple playing style is awesome, besides it sounding great on the guitar. But you are wrong when you say it's about gay people or coming out. On http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=7157
it quotes an interview with Emily Saliers, who wrote the song, who said the "song is about not beating yourself up too hard to get your answer from one place. There's no panacea, that in order to be balanced or feel closer to fine it's okay to draw from this or to draw from that, to draw from a bunch of different sources. So it's about being confused but looking for the answers, and in the end knowing that you're going to be fine. No seeking just one definitive answer."
So it's about the confusion of life itself and trying to find answers to the questions of life, and instead just let it be and live.
