> when Gawker outed him as gay when he was in Saudi Arabia, where gay people are often punished by the death penalty... This is why I have never held the Gawker thing against him. That little detail didn't make it into any of the articles I saw on the subject, and it makes Gawker's behavior really low. Also: if he were female, outing him this way would properly be considered sexual harassment. Publishing a sex tape without permission, which they did to Hogan, is basically sexual assault. Gawker was sleazy as hell and deserved what they got.
