My sexual orientation.

I think you've misunderstood the point of the recent article about McFarlane.  The point was not that he is gay - that hasn't been a secret-  but that he gets hate mail because of his gayness.   Your pearl clutching would be better directed towards the hate-mailers.

I think you've missed the point... if he didn't insist on telling the world at large that he was gay..... he may not get hate mail.

I'm not sure that, in a society where we value freedom of speech and (mostly) inclusivity, that one should have to hide a part of their life just to appease or avoid the outrage of a bunch of keyboard warriors.

It says far more about the idiots banging away on their keyboards than it does about him...  Some folks just need to take a chill pill
