    I think there is a good argument to be made

    I’m sorry, but I must vehemently disagree. There is absolutely no reason to discuss publicly someone’s private sexual preferences. Otherwise, you have the society they want where witch-hunts can be started over rumors.

    there is also a trend of labeling any homophobic politician as being in the closet

    That is also bad, and should not be tolerated.

      If I’m being oppressed I would like to know if the thing I’m being opposed for is something my oppressor practices. That is called injustice.
