MODERATORS
The problem with outing someone is that it risks subjecting them to discrimination and bigotry by homophobic assholes. Shunning it as a cardinal sin is a defense mechanism to protect each other.
If right-wing bigots hide behind those protections, while being part of the problem that necessitates them in the first place, they deserve no protections.
