Not being gay, I cannot speak for their reasons to remain “in the closet” as they say. However, losing their jobs, regardless of political party affiliation, is a pretty good reason to keep quiet. That some are gay & do not want that exposed, is “their” business. Exposing them has more to do with the vindictive minds of nasty people than it does them being gay.
The point of the writer here is well made. You cannot speak for a group of people, unless you are one of them, or have at least asked them what they feel, why they do what they do, etc. Claiming a position or knowledge based solely on your own experience exposes that individual as the “real” hypocrite!
