Reply #104: I also am in two minds about outing someone... [View All]

...so I hope I can answer your question.

While I understand the need in some to out these pigs to show just how hypocritical these jerks are, I am still torn by it. Although I am slowly coming around to the idea of outing the idiots.

My reasons for being against public outings are simple. Coming out of the closet is a very private thing. It is something that a lot of queers battle most of their life with (I never came out until I was 30.)

I also understand those that are forced to remain in the closet because of their job. Society has forced the closet on us.

But, using someone sexuality as a means of humiliation is nothing more than a dirty republican trick. Being gay isn't a tool, it is someones life you are dealing with. And remember outings in the past has lead to suicide, and that is a big reason I am against it.

We lose far too many people in our community through suicide as it is, thanks again to the way society sees us.

But this is also where I become torn again because it is the repukes and their misinterpretation of the Bible and immoral minds that have made society perceive gays as being dirty.

Anyway, I hope that makes sense. It really is something that is very hard to put into words.
