If gay people were allowed to be open and out then blackmail could never be a threat on their sexuality. Yet another good reason for allowing openess.

All this said, though, and it is still beyond me what anyone's sexuality has to do with anyone else. Who knows what hetrosexuals get up to legally and who cares? It should be the same for gay people and nothing less.

Take away the means to blackmail someone and you can have no blackmail!
