93. I agree. Someone's sexuality is their business alone.
To me, outing people is wrong. When they are ready, they can out themselves.

I don't think that outing people will advance gay rights. People that are against gay marriage and partner health insurance and such will still be against gay rights. Outing people isn't going to change minds. If anything, it may anger a lot of gay people. It has the potential to turn into a witch hunt.

The hypocrisy is a big issue. But those persons that are gay and have voted against their community have to live with themselves. And maybe with a very disgusted SO, friends, relatives etc.
