> not that he was ok with being gay but that he understood what it was like to have a real secret

That is a really interesting interpretation, thanks.

(Also a reminder that even if Don was pretty anachronistically OK with it, he still dropped a "you people" line to Sal)

You're 100% right. I completely forgot about the "you people" line. And now that you mention it I do recall Don sort of looking at Sal with disgust. It's hard to tell though if that disgust was because of intense homophobia (probably) or simply because he gave Sal a chance and asked him to be discreet and Sal then almost immediately created a problem for the firm.
