I'd rather have them pushed for their ability as a team than because one of them is a homosexual.

Yes.
No.

Well WWE wouldn't be pushing him if the media didn't need to make out of someone coming out.

This is what it comes down to.

WWE isn't going to push the PTP because Young is gay, they're going to push them because he's in everyone's news feed and that gives him name recognition. Name recognition is a big part of a wrestler's stock, so of course WWE will capitalize on that (many have argued they even orchestrated it).
