I think outing anyone is wrong and vindictive, unless it is directly related to the commission of a crime...
But I would suggest it is the republican "family values" base that ties sexual preferences and political stances together more than anyone else.
The ignorant comments of conservative talking heads on Foley (

The attack of Condi Rice by the American Family Association for her appointment of a gay as global Aids coordinator and her recognition of his "partner" (

The holding up of a Bush judicial nominee by a conservative repub senator because she attended a gay "commitment" ceremony.....
(I thought the repubs wanted Bush's nominees to get an up or down vote and not be held to a litmus test) (

The examples of how "family values" conservatives politicize sexual preference are endless.
