I don't think that outing people is a good idea though. It's fine to point out that they're being hypocritical, or refuse them for their views, but outing them seems a step too far, especially if it's retaliatory.
Their being in the closet oughtn't be conditional.
The inverse wouldn't be acceptable, why would this?
The reverse in this situation would be a closeted queer person outing someone for being...NOT shitty and detrimental to other people?
Nah, don't out people who aren't shitty. But if you're an active republican, ESPECIALLY if you're a political configure, and you trash the gay community you belong to? Fuck em. They aren't under the umbrella of protection the moment they try to push people out from under it.
