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, and/or transphobia in order to discredit someone, or to combat homophobia, heterosexism, and/or cissexism by revealing that a prominent or respected individual is homosexual and/or transgender.
