Unless someone is an elected official who is voting to deny me civil rights or protections they should not be outed. Period.
I almost said in the first post that this thread was not intended to discuss gender but rather to discuss orientation - but then I felt that would limit the conversation overly much. So I'm wondering - since you brought up gender outing - do you see a difference between gender outing and orientation outing?
