More than halfway through the article: "I remember very viscerally when I’d just come out of the closet as bisexual in 2016." The article looks too much like someone projecting their own problems on society generally.

Well what else does a blog do but project thoughts to the public?

"Projecting one's problems on others" does not mean that someone is sharing their problems with the world. It means they take their problems and assume that they are problems that others have.

So, GP is suggesting that the authors is assuming society has certain attributes, when in reality its likely just attributes of theirself.

Well, it's the internet and no one's singular experienc truly unique. So yes, that is a safe assumption. I doubt the author is the only person in the world with a friendship broken over some relatively benign story.

Could be both. Or neither. It's a blog, not a study, so I don't see much point dissenting an anecdote. The point is to share ideas to the world. And given the nature of the internet, some will resonate.
