I guess I just don't like anyone gossiping about anyone; so, I'd still pearl-clutch.

Fair enough; to each his own on gossip. Internet gossip is at least not behind the person's back. :-)

Yes. It’s one thing if person truly guards the “secret.” But otherwise you force others to help construct your glass closet.

That's a GREAT way of putting it (and something I did/suffered through for years).

I find it’s often straight allies most disturbed by outing, even of the mostly-out-already. I get why they think it’s supportive.

Maybe--but my understanding is individual should get to choose how to engage those who already think that. So how to balance?

I don't think anyone should ever be shamed for who they are. But recognising someone for what they are isn't necessarily bad.

Or does it show that being gay is still treated as "wrong" in some places. Outing isn't the cause, it's the effect.

No, it means there is something wrong with violating a person's privacy.

I don't think so: it's anger over the denial of autonomy. One should be able to control one's own coming out, on one's own terms.

Maybe. But it also deprives a person of how they want to handle something that is deeply personal, no?
