While "outing" often refers to an outdoor excursion, it also refers to a system of exposing something or someone, by "outing" that something/someone. However; in most recent years, it has developed an entirely different meaning. It is the practice of taking someone "out of the closet" and basically announcing that this someone is in fact "gay" or a member of the gay community.
I do NOT believe someone who is in fact a homosexual, should be "outed" against their will, as they are entitled to respect and a private life. I believe that if someone wants to "come out" they should "come out" when they are ready. Homosexuality is something that I accept and respect. I believe that when GOD created Adam & Eve, he created freewill and the ability to love. However; I know and am well aware, that the majority of the status quo population would disagree with me, hence why homosexuality has a hard time being accepted as normal or ordinary. Of course homophobic individuals or individuals against gay rights, would argue and state that the human race would become extinct if, the majority of the world were all homosexual. If that were true, the entire world would be homosexual right now. The fact is, the majority of the world is heterosexual and will remain heterosexual
In recent years, homosexuality has become even more scandalous than we realize. People spend numerous amounts of time trying to find out who is secretly trapped inside the closet (or who is homosexual) and devoting their time to "outing" that individual, thinking that he/she wants to be outed, rather than embracing the good, positive qualities of homosexuality, as well as, it's strengths. I have developed a theory called "inning". This concept of "inning" will be used to embrace the good qualities and strengths of homosexuality or homosexual individuals. Instead of "outing" the latest closet case or someone you believe may believe to be gay, why not embrace the positive traits about someone who is already an out & proud homosexual? If an openly gay individual invents something, why not talk about it, exaggerate it, and embrace them or what they invented? I believe this would credit the gay community in a positive direction.
Think about it, individuals who are NOT gay or individuals who are anti-gay, would develop a better understanding of homosexuality and would separate the individual from the orientation. They would stop judging and come close enough to recognizing, it isn't a person's orientation that makes us like them, it's their character. "Inning" would NOT only benefit the gay community, as well as, gay individuals, but family, friends, acquaintances, i.e. of gays and it would make the community appear bigger, look better, and eventually, people who are in the closet, would feel comfortable enough to "come out" on their own, without having to be "outed" against their will.
