The idea of intentionally "outing" a gay man or woman who does not wish to be "outed" is terrible.
The only difference I see in this story is more the fact that he's exposing a hypocrite, by showing that he secretly engages in the very behaviors he publicly puts down and votes against. In this respect, I see it as the same thing as exposing a senator who smokes pot all the time but actively participates in anti-drug efforts, or a person who is exposed as an avid gun enthusiast who spends his time in anti-gun efforts in public display.
In my opinion, it's the hypocrisy of the thing that he's exposing, not simply "outing" him to attack him- it just happens that in order to expose the hypocrit, some info would be leaked that he'd rather not be leaked.
Such is the life of a hypocrit, though. Most will eventually be exposed.
