I think it's one thing to out a closeted politician who is consistently hurting people in their day-to-day lives by the legislation they're advocating and enacting into law (Charlie Crist was horrible in that regard in Florida, when he was governor). But I'm not sure about businessmen or executives. If their company's business policies are fair, sane, and not hurting anyone, I think outing them is unfair and a breach of their privacy.
I agree on the second part, not on the first, but I was surprised when this came up because I thought Cook was out as well. It probably speaks a lot to how little a big deal it is in this day and age with some of the assumptions if anything, compared to even a decade ago.
