[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:
PP's seem focused on why the outrage (because he's a private citizen).  The outrage is a given and the real question is what if this was the brother of a high profile republican politician who was the CEO of big corporation.

But instead of it being a NYC liberal media congolomerate, he was the CEO of an OK based oil and gas company???

Would the outrage still be there?????[/quote]

I think yes.
I think the only scenario in which people *might* not be outraged is if the "high profile politician brother" was virulently anti-gay. Being a member of the Republican party wouldn't be enough. It's not a simple red/blue issue (though is very obvious you would like to make it so, OP.)

I say *might* because even then, I think people would still be outraged. I imagine if I was unfortunate enough to have a close family member who was very publicly anti-gay, it would make it very, very, very difficult for me to feel comfortable coming out of the closet.
It's a huge invasion of privacy, period. [/quote]
