Suppose you are attracted to the same sex. Suppose you choose to be discrete about your same-sex friendships. Suppose despite reasonable efforts to be discrete someone uncovers a homosexual relationship you are involved in. It would be wrong for him to disclose that fact and it would be doubly wrong to disclose it because he thinks you are anti-gay or that you support anti-gay policies. There are many things we do not disclose about ourselves. Others may or may not have a right to know. We may not be proud of our desires and behavior. The truth may harm innocent people. Sexual orientation is not a public fact unless we choose to make it so.
