This is...sad. When is it cool to out someone? Never. Especially when you are SUPPOSE to be a friend.
Today I was floored to see this National Enquirer story about Jonathan Knight and his fling/friend/asshole,Kyle Wilker. It's labeled as Gay Lover Tells All, which makes me mad.
This is an example of pettiness in our community. For his little 15 minutes, Kyle was willing to out someone who is a friend. He could ruin Jonathan's life, I wondered if he thought about that.
Probably didn't since he wanted the Enquirer to know. If this is true, then I hope Jonathan has the support he needs. I don't want this bitch or the fallout from this story to destroy his trust in people or the gay community. If you don't know Jonathan's story, just know that he's been a lot. I wish him well and I hope his fans and friends give him strength through this.
And for you, Kyle Wilker...What you did was wrong, vile and hateful! I cast a plague upon your house!

The thing is, V, malicious outing, pointing out someone's foibles, etc., is common place among the community.
No one ever comes forward to renounce or denounce it until, of course, it happens to someone they love or admire, or most of all, to them.
I know that Jonothan Knight suffers from severe anxiety/panic disorder. And this has probably done nothing more than heighten it to the trillionth degree.
That was extremely foul. Some people believe they are doing the gay community a favor by outing people (celebs or not). In truth they are completely self serving and superficial.
Seriously? If a closeted celebrity met some queen in a bar on Fire Island... He pretty much deserves everything he gets, including being dragged out of the closet. Mainly for his stupidity.
