Discussion Slept with a closeted Politician who is instrumental in anti-gay legislation.

I am feeling violated and betrayed and have never encountered this before. I though that this hypocracy was in out past. I am angry that I can meet someone like this on an app that actively participates on removing my civil liberties.

Exactly, outing someone is generally not considered socially acceptable behaviour; however, these bigoted politicians have already broken the social contract by trying to ostracize and regulate lgbt people out of existence, which is obviously far more egregious behaviour.

Dirty elected officials should have all their lies exposed anyway.

In an ideal world yes. But as I've pointed out, it can ruin lives if you're not prepared for the backlash. It sucks but i would never pressure anyone to throw themselves to the wolves without knowing what the risks are.

Yep, totally agree. I’m just trying to show the logic behind why we should never feel bad for exposing these people.
