6. I've always been against outing
because I'm all too aware of the kind of world we live in. People who are outed generally haven't come to terms with it themselves (or they'd be out) or have impossible work and/or family situations.

However, that no longer applies to Congress, I'm afraid. Most of those old boys in that particular closet have been strining along the religious fascists for decades, climbing over them to get to the top.

It's high time to strip the blinders off the people they've used for so long.

I've always considered other people's sexuality their problem, not mine, and been uncurious. However, the GOP power structure has been doing damage to me and my country for long enough. If outing the sanctimonious will help us to rid ourselves of the worst of them, I'm all for it.

I will hope we can go back to leaving other people minding their own business once they stop minding ours.
