People shouldn’t be outed. They may be voting against gay marriage, horror of horrors, because they are thinking of the greater good and not putting the fact they’re gay at the center of the universe. In this sense the argument is used that if gays vote against policies in a way another gay person disagrees with then instead of having a reasonable position they are portrayed as hypocritical, traitors or self-hating, just as some do with Jews who are “clueless” about Israel. But one gay owes nothing to another gay by virtue of the fact that both are and acting as if there is only one way to be gay and that someone should be in charge of gayness is again the same tired view that there is only one view Jews should have; one side does not own Jewishness or being gay.
The theory is that outing people will then allow you to view their inner mind, their “real” reasons for voting a certain way and that will never be true. That theory is based on the idea that if you have an agenda everybody does and in that case well be nothing more than a Freudian slip by you.
You are making this seem like it is some Orwellian perceptual trap that must itself be outed and this is far from the case. For that you have to turn to the depraved policies of women’s college basketball teams where women of one sexual orientation are forced to shower with women of another orientation in a way that is basically forcing them to shower with men since this issue of who wants to have sex with who is at the basis of separating the sexes in such situations in the first place.
In this sense you are simply advocating an agenda without regard to an overarching and consistent philosophy because doing that might force you to admit you’re wrong sometimes and right others and it’s a lot more fun to be right all the time. This is glaringly true when it comes to members of the Rainbow Coalition because black issues for example, are wrenched about in such a way that they are basically never wrong and whites are never wrong.
It is glaringly obvious when Kobe Bryant is called out by GLAAD for making a gay slur on TV because it contributes to a belittlement of gay culture. 2 weeks later the “Hunky Jesus” contest undergoes no such scrutiny from GLAAD when it contributes to the belittlement of Christians in the most vulgar and wilful way possible.
