Outing
Disclosing an LGBTQ person's identity without their consent Outing is the act of disclosing an LGBTQ person's sexual orientation or gender identity without their consent. It is often done for malicious reasons either to instrumentalize homophobia, biphobia or transphobia in order to discredit someone or to combat homophobia, heterosexism or cissexism by revealing that a prominent or respected individual is homosexual or transgender.
