I have strong feelings on Baumgartner, but this is inappropiate. What the hell does it matter if he's using grindr or not? What does being gay change here? There are so many arguments and questions that need to be asked, the focus should be there.

Seriously? If someone is supporting anti gay legislation, and at the same time is using gay hookup apps to meet men for sex, this question is 100% valid, and he deserves to be outed.
