[quote=Anonymous]I hate these faux but what if this was [something sort of opposite what it is] scenarios, because there is no way to know. The outrage of this story is that this is an outing of someone who is private, and it gives the blackmailing escort some sort of win. If the person outed was some sort of semi-public figure who had ever said or done anything that indicated an anti-GLBT agenda, then, yeah, people would just shrug and say the hypocrite got what he deserved. We (society) don't out cheaters, as a general rule (because it's just not that interesting: ooh, rich man pays for sex on travel, groundbreaking). In this case, the gay angle is what supposedly makes it so titillating. And that - the giggle that's it's -gasp - gay cheating - is actually anti-gay rhetoric. Whew. Follow that? [/quote]
