But two things about that:
1. How does this knowledge benefit you?
2. How does this knowledge tell you that their political choices are
wholly motivated by an unprincipled thirst for power? And like I asked before, how do you know that their personal life - as opposed to their political life - isn't the part of their life that contrasts with their principles?

I'm not seeing how involuntary outing helps the process of getting to that place... and I am seeing how it could hurt the outed. Lose-lose, as I see it.
