For the LGBTQ+ community, being 'outed' for their identity without their consent and before they are ready is deeply upsetting and is a huge invasion of their trust and privacy. In some places across the globe, this is also very dangerous. 'Outing' someone is a horrible thing to do and should be made illegal.
