Would/Have you ever out someone who is in the closet ?
-
never, thats just rude!
I don't think you really meant that in all cases.
For instance.. some people need to be outed.. such as:
Tom Cruise
Kirk Cameron
Justin Bieber
Cruise and Cameron will probably never come out.. but Justin will probably come out soon.Cruise is actually sterile due to chemotherapy as a teenager.. that is why he has no biological children. If that
Suri is his biological child - then it is a test tube baby.Many times, fag bashers are in fact closet homosexuals.
Supposedly, 10% of people are exclusively gay, whereas 35% of people are bisexual. That's a lot of people!
By the way.. here are 6 people who are said to be gay, who are actually bisexual: Elton John, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Boy George, Anthony Perkins, and Graham Chapman (Monty Python - who died of CANCER not AIDS). -
It becomes difficult due to the Glass Closet.
If someone is completely in the closet and asks for his/her/their privacy to be respected; I would respect their decisions without agreeing with them.
But what about people who are 'out' to the Gay community but not public with the straight community? Colton Haynes, Ellen Degeneres, Jodie Foster, Thomas Dekker, and Ricky Martin were all widely known to be homosexual long before they did interviews in mainstream magazines 'coming out.' My shock when Barry Manilow came out was that it had taken him so long.

Everyone has a right to live as they see fit and how they would like to live. As long as that person isn't being a hypocrite and condemn gays or taking actions that are hurtful to gay men (such as politicians who have gay sex but rule against gay legislation) - then there is no reason to out someone. It's their life, not yours.
-
no, i would never do it if they did not want to or if they were not ready!!
-
I think that would be a really nastu move to do that to someone. I think you should only come out if you're ready. As someone mentioned, it could have very negative consequences for the person that you force to come out. And coming out is a choice. Not everyone must come out.

So I wanna know that have you out someone who was in the closet or would you ever do it if you know someone who is doing it behind closed doors. How does gossip like so and so celebrity is gay also comes. Someone's is always an instigator there. Weather the allegation is true or not people just call out certain celebrities for the way they act or the ppl they hangout with even if they are openly LGBT.
For e.g ppl always call Will Smith gay and his wife Jada Pinkett a lesbian, same is for Queen Latifah and I think people also used to call Sophie B Hawkins the singer a lesbian back in the 90's but now she is happily married and have kids. So we are all ears. Out with it. :blind:
Nope, because it's all about respect, and I respect their privacy as much as I respect mine.
It's a different case however, if he/she's an annoying prick who has been trying to out me first. Then I might simply give them hell. >:DAs for celebrities, well… from what I can tell (a colleague used to work in local showbiz), they actually know each other sexuality much better than their fans. So their circle of friends highly likely already aware about it, but decided to stay silent because exposing them would have negative effects on their careers as well. Heck, they don't want to risk being outed as well.
:love:

yes

Never. I know people who think it's an obligation to out people because it's "lying". This grinds my gears. Privacy, folks.
-
never. sometimes you will kill them. i think we need rights based on we observe the system, we can’t use sexual orientation as someone’s weakness and criminal. if you want Equal rights , you need treat orientation like nothing. bcos you can’t hurt someone by announcing heterosexuality . as gay do this to gay people makes even hurt than others. how do you feel if your family betrayed you. grosses me out.

I did a very public outing of a local evangelical preacher about a decade ago. I just couldn't resist it because of his really hate filled anti-gay crap.
Even gave him a chance to stop it beforehand but he refused.
So I let everything I had on him out.
Lost his wife or fiance, church and moved to Arkansas. -
no no no no, hell no

Well, I came out a year ago to a few people. The only people I really care enough to know. Back when I was in the closet for everyone I was dating a guy who recently had been discovered as gay, and gossips flew in college… He always said we met in secret 'cause he didn't want people to treat me like him.
Everyone thought we were good friends, and that I wasn't aware of his sexual life, and tried to "advice me".
When the day came, and I finally came out to close friends and my mom and sister, he broke my heart, he broke up with me on a facebook message. Ended up discovering he still insisted he wasn't gay and tried to convince everyone of that.
Eventually he came out, and months later we met at a party and since then he is trying to convince me to have sex with him, he already has a partner.I don't mind if someone doesn't feel like coming out, because there was a time I also didn't, but now I just get away as soon as it starts getting like this story again.

Outing someone is indefensible. There is only one exception to the rule - if that person is actively harming other gay people with their behaviour, i.e. being a hypocrite. Example - politicians who vote for anti-gay legislation but engage in homosexual activity in their private lives - they deserve to have their careers and reputations destroyed for being a self-hating hypocrite.
-
As much as I would like to say NO.
However, I am human and prone to weaknesses and may accidentally in the heat of the moment out someone.
But it's still and should be a no for me.
-
No never, outing somebody is loosing their trust and humiliating them.
-
I guess only if they are being extremely homophobic?
-
No, never in my life. It would be one way of denigrating and humilating someone who is not ready to (or simply does not want to) come out.
I wouldn't have liked to be forced to be out of the closet when I was not ready.

Never! One of my nephews and one of my nieces are both gay.
My nephew waited until he was financially stable out on his own at 18 before making a public coming out post on Instagram.
My niece is in college and she turned 19 before posting beautiful sappy pictures of her and her girlfriend on Facebook and coming out.
Just a bit irked that the possibility of my alleged status as Favorite Uncle might be due to my orientation and not because of spoiling them. I could have saved some money. (Kidding)
Everyone's journey is different, no way will I be a pothole on their road.

It will depend on the personality of that closeted guy. Remember the movie East Side Story, I would do the same if I was the girlfriend.
