re: #137 Killgore Trout

It has to do with security clearances. Having personal secrets (extramarital affairs, drug addiction, homosexuality, etc) makes people more vulnerable to blackmail and extortion attempts and can effect their ability to get and hold a security clearance. I’m not sure if there is an attempt to change the rules on that.

I understand that argument fully when it comes to illegal activity, or clandestine romances, but how is an out-of-the-closet gay more easily compromised?
