Host, I'll make this real simple. Your position is just plain spite. Outing has yet to produce any social change, so far as I can tell. All it does is inflict harm on people. All it does is give YOU a bit of a rush, some vindictive satisfaction. Basically, it's a form of terrorism: you think your pain is so important that it's ok to inflict it on others, even if inflicting that harm doesn't get you closer to where you want to go.
But that is the kind of act that gets perpetrated by those who are LOSING an argument. Your pro-gay rights position happens to be gaining ground -- mark my words, in ten or 15 years everyone will wonder what the fuss was about. All you're accomplishing by this viciousness is slowing down acceptance of your position. People don't like viciousness, and when they see it, they tend to tune out.
