Agree with the first part. I was mainly referring to why is it ok to out him because he's a billionaire - doesn't seem to be in the public's best interest, regardless of one's status.

Similar to the argument Gawker made about the tape - I don't want (or need) to see a HH sex tape any more than one of my neighbor.

Nothing I wrote indicated that it was, "ok to out him because he's a billionaire". TFA doesn't explicitly advance that proposition, but that's the subtext. Meanwhile, reasonable people would like to see some media entity that is not deferential to billionaires, with respect to important topics. So long as its only focus is the sexuality of semi-famous dudes, Gawker is not that entity.
