Can you explain this? Why would they be in favour of outing someone against their will? I’m genuinely curious because on the surface it seems very cruel.

I believe they feel it is better for the gay community to have more out people, there is strength in numbers and perception of normality; people pretending not to be gay are making gay seem more unusual.

		so gays don't have agency? they dont have unique circumstances such as avoiding hate crimes? Their decisions can be made by the group?

It's not cruel at all if the person outted is one of the most powerful people in the world
