The Practice of ‘Outing’ Draws Fire

So Larry Kramer is found to be HIV positive and suddenly decides that gives him the right to infringe on someone’s privacy? Oh, please. I am utterly shocked at his reasoning. Someone in a position of power who may or may not be gay is exposed because Kramer feels that person should be doing something for the gay community? I am disgusted by all of this. Malcolm Forbes, gay, straight or otherwise, and his family deserved better than what they got from these “do-gooders.” Are the activists so self-serving that they don’t care about the feelings of family and loved ones?

It’s a sad commentary on the American way of life to think someone’s sexual orientation is newsworthy.
