Christ no! Do they have an obligation to out heterosexuals who engage in adult consensual kinky sex? Same answer. I think even Republican politicians deserve a little privacy. :-) How about outing corruption, influence pedaling, and questionable campaign contributions? EDIT: I finally read the article. The whole thing is a perversion of ethics. The idea that a journalist should out someone who is gay to celebrate gayness is wrong. If the person wants it known, let him do it himself. I suppose an exception is a gay bashing politician/activist who is in the closet, but that is just exposing hypocrisy. Same would be true of an anti-drug evangelist who is a secret drug dealer.
