I recently found out a person I regulary interact with through a place I hang out at online is a repressed bisexual (as in "LGBT is a choice because I can choose to be straight"). I kind of want to help him as I mean that can't be healthy, but I'm really not sure what to do.
But am I really the right person when I am in the closet too? Sure, I accept who I am, but am I really accepting myself when I can't even tell my family? My mum knows I'm bi but thats because she guessed. I have no reason to be in the closet, I live in one of the most liberal cities in the country. So many people in my life are LGBT and no one in my immediate family gives a shit. Like I'm not going to tell my conservative grandparents or anything but like why should I keep hiding from people who will most likely accept me? Am I really accepting myself if I'm too scared to walk the walk?
TL;DR: Feel like a coward and a hypocrite for not coming out when it is almost completely safe.
Tell him that there are no choices in our sexuality, regardless of how our desires surface. You can like to eat both fish and chicken, but only choose to eat one. That doesn't mean you don't secretly want the other one deep down.

I tried that, his answer was "nah but I'm special I can do that".
