-- BryanKimButler | | | Other conceptualizations of privacy, such as “control over personal information,” which wouldn’t be completely bounded to the home, do not solve this issue, either.[14] I have two examples I’ve thought about, both concerning “outing,” which is an issue often couched in the terms of privacy. | |

< | Michelangelo Signorile, for one, advocates “outing on all levels”![15] What he means is that “[e]very gay person who knows the truth about closeted antigay politicians has a responsibility to speak up.”[16] For example, Senator Larry “Wide Stance” Craig, who was caught literally with his pants down in an airport bathroom, and Roy Ashburn, a California state senator who voted for Prop 8, who was forced to come out when he was arrested for drunk driving coming back from a gay bar.[17] For Signorile and many gay activists, these people don’t “deserve” privacy—in fact they deserve ridicule for being hurt by the very policies they’ve hurt others with. With the blogosphere pulsing, all gay antigay politicians (and some non-antigay policies who are closeted for whatever reason) have something to fear. | >

Yes, it’s happening again.”[19] He “tweeted”: “I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”[20] A few days later, Clementi posted on Facebook, “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry.”[21] | | |
