I'm not sure why I am bothering to respond to you considering the posts you've been making.
I'm quite certain the outing was done to "punish, humilate, expose and otherwise negatively influence an individual". In the very exclusive realm of those who view homosexuality as a behavior deserving of punishment, humiliation, exposition - resulting in a negative perception of the person exposed, by those who supported the position on homosexuality that comes from the person exposed. As I said - all negativity associated with the outing is brought about very exclusively by those with anti-homosexual positions, including the person who was outed.
The only other people who would view the person being outed in a negative light are those who disfavor hypocrisy. Such as myself. Though in that case, it is nothing more than fulfillment of the expectation of a politician.
Those who oppose outing are those who believe homosexuality is better left private - our society is heterosexual, and very far from private in that respect.
I don't care if he's gay. I don't care if you're gay. I don't care if I'm gay. I don't care if you can't get it up without being whipped. Sexual preference means nothing to me outside of relationships I have that include sexuality.
If you view this recently outed man with additional disfavor due to his sexuality, that is your flaw. And if you are gay - then you're a hypocrite like him.
