wow, what an interesting discussion. . . i don't think that someone has the right to out someone else.
first you have to come out to yourself. i just finished a book of short stories (The Black and White of It by Ann Shockley) and there was more than one story where one or both of the people (enjoying the lesbian sex or relationship) didn't consider themselves gay. this senator could be one of these people. . . yeah it doesn't make much sense to me but they are out there. . .
and even once you come out to yourself there is a lot of thought and fear involved with telling other people & people choose to (or not to) do so for different reasons, but that chose should be theirs.
if this gay activist person has such a problem with it, he could meet with the senator and talk to him one on one, at least find out where the senator is coming from before he makes a truly life changing decision for him. . . that would also give the activist a chance to find out if the story he has is fact or fiction
