HELP NEEDED: I Had an Affair With a Politician Who Denies Being Gay. Do I Keep His Secret?

Having sex once is classified as an affair?

Keep your trap shut. Nobody cares about his one off with you.

out him

You say nothing.

Are they virulently antigay, OP?

OP, get a job.

Depends on whether he's a piece of shit and whether you're a piece of shit.

If he's not, and you're not, I'd keep it to yourself

Is it Ramzan Kadyrov, that HOT ginger in charge in the Chechen Republic? Then out him.

If it is Mike Johnson sing it to the balcony. Otherwise keep quiet. Maybe he has found memories of you!

If he’s MAGA, you should out him. If not, keep it quiet. But tell us who it is.

lol yes let DL decide!

We're discreet

OP, don't out The D. It's almost his birthday!

Is he antigay? If so, tell the world what you know

-7/100.

Do you need $? Is blackmail a possibility?

You fucked JD Vance??

Lady G?

Honestly, OP, if you're a writer then write the story but don't reveal true identites or places. Write it as a short story, write it as a play (cast Cole Escola to play you), be creative and tell it without revealing anyone.

Tim Scott? He was single forever, then suddenly married

I have the answer for you here, OP.

Macron?

Does Miss Lindsay squeal when she’s fucked

I was having occasional fun (I hosted after meeting him at a bathhouse) with a cute chubby guy I met on Craigslist (back then). One day he called asking for phone sex and later when I did reverse lookup on the number I found the number of a homophobic fundamentalist church. A bit more research revealed him as the pastor.

I didn't out him but told him I would if he ever called me again. i should have outed him.

You should’ve, r23.

OP, Liars and text thieves get cancer.

[quote] I was having occasional fun (I hosted after meeting him at a bathhouse) with a cute chubby guy I met on Craigslist (back then).

So did you meet him in a bathhouse or Craigslist? According to your account, you initially met him at two places.

Which likely categorizes your dramatic story as a work of fiction.

R20 this must come up ALL THE TIME

He answered my ad on Craigslist and we arranged to meet at a bathhouse the first time. Subsequent meetings happened at my place.

I don't care whether or not the likes of r26 believes it but am content to provide more details.

A person's being a public person has no bearing on the ethical question.

I decided a long time ago that homophobic closet cases (and homophobes) deserve exposure.

But that doesn't seem to be the case in the scenario proposed by the OP.

If the person is a Republican who actively works/votes against gay people then out him OP.

I think that depends on how amenable you are to fucking up your own life.

It’s your story, but why do you want to tell it? Outing someone is usually pointless. I think homophobes aren’t angry when gay men pretend to be straight, they’re just sadistically amused.

There's a chance the homophobic pastor would have committed suicide if r23 outed him.

You should never out self-loathing closet cases who vote against gays! Never! You should keep their secrets for all eternity!

R33, that seems like a positive result.

1) Does he express and vote anti-gay?

2) What verifiable proof do you have other than your word?

Be honest. If you called a press conference about this, would anybody give a shit? Is "his country" anywhere anybody outside of it cares about? Do you have a point to all this, or just want to stir up some drama? If you do want to stir up some drama, cause there's nothing else much going on in your life, well, you may want to look at that. Not saying you absolutely shouldn't, but know what you're actually doing.

Don't say anything. You will regret it.

You idiots! This post was stolen word-for-word from the NYT article linked at R20.

But keep on chatting if you must.

If it’s someone who opposes equality for the LGBTQ community out the motherfucker. But you better have irrefutable proof because MAGA or the MAGA equivalent in your country will come after you.

This has the same high-school overtones as Aaron Rodgers' mystery woman Brittani.

OP,

Just tell us who it is. We’ll keep your secret.

Politician? How does he vote on gay issues? Does he put down gays? Is he a religious homophobe? If he's favorable toward gays, then give him some space.

If he's takes a stand against gays, then OUT HIM.

R30, the OP said "in his country."

Does that sound like someone in the USA?

OP, if it’s someone gross you might want to keep that to yourself. In the end the public doesn’t care about this shit.

If he’s a decent man and an honest politician who’s trying his best to serve his country honourably, then say nothing. If he’s a piece of shit and a raging hypocrite, then it’s fair play to expose him.

Why do responders continue to cosplay that OP wrote this? Is it part of the fun?

1). Outing is never good. Thats what neocons do to us, not what we do to each other.

2). Why do you care, at this point? You sound angry, and I don’t think it’s really about him.

3). If you went public, you’d eventually be required to prove it. Got pictures? A dna stain on your blue dress? I doubt it.

For example R48. Why are you answering with "you"?

Can't you just consider it a fun little sexcapade that you can chuckle at and keep in your spank bank? Don't be all dramatic and shit.
