      These priests are claimed to be in same-sex relationships, but not every LGBTI activist agrees with the decision to out them.

        THIS

        "Everyone deserves the right to be in the closet,’ said Galarza. He added: ‘But when you come out and condemn homosexuality, condemn gay marriage, and try to influence a secular state, you have lost the right to the closet.’ "

        Basically if you are a douchebag trying to destroy LGBT people's lives don't be upset that your hypocrisy has been exposed.

          I strongly agree with what farkme said. If you forcefully out someone you are not a LGBT activist, you are hindering the cause of people who really try to improve the lives of LGBT people. Outing someone is an absolute NO.

            I'm all for outing those who live in the closet while doing harm to their fellow gays.

              Firstly, how on earth do you prove that someone is gay? It seems like the kind of allegation that anybody could launch against anybody, and which is very hard either to demonstrate or dispel. Anyone could start a rumour about anyone. These kind of tactics have very little credibility.

              Secondly, what is actually achieved by this? How does it help anyone that a few priests are supposedly 'outed'? Does it improve perceptions of LGBT people? Does it build bridges with the Catholic Church? I suspect not. It just makes the activists involved look petty and spiteful, and probably entrenches anti-gay prejudice.

              Finally, why is there an expectation that all gay people have to hold and express certain views?  Why is there an expectation that you're somehow a traitor or a hypocrite if you don't support gay marriage, or if you don't completely support secularism? I don't support gay marriage. I'm not a huge fan of secularism. Does that mean I'm a legitimate target for these people? That seems like the gay community turning on its own and enforcing its own hardline brand of dogmatism. And why is not openly discussing your sexual orientation equated with being "in the closet?" This kind of language and behaviour strikes me as very ugly.

                It's not hard to prove someone is gay.

                It seems you are more interested in protecting the church than the human rights for gays.

                You demonized me for pointing out that muslims hate gays.  You want me to hold the gay SJW view of muslims.  Isn't that hypocritical?

                BTW, I'm still waiting for that list of the wonderful gay utopian mulsim countries.

                  I don't like Tom Cruise nor Kirk Cameron either.
