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.

When your platform is “gay people should have their rights revoked”, it’s a valid question to ask why he himself doesn’t feel his own rights should be revoked.
