-'''Outing''' is the act of revealing personal information about another person, often done against that person's will. When the person voluntares such information, it is known as [[coming out]]. Outing might for instance be revealing the real-life information online, or revealing the facts otherwise not linked to the person to that individual's real-life friends, family, or community.
+'''Outing''' is the act of disclosing an [[LGBT]] person's [[sexual orientation]] or [[gender identity]] without that person's consent. Outing gives rise to issues of privacy, choice, hypocrisy, and harm in addition to sparking debate on what constitutes [[Wikipedia:common good|common good]] in efforts to combat [[homophobia]] and [[heterosexism]]. A publicized outing targets prominent figures in a society, for example well-known politicians, accomplished athletes or popular artists. Opponents to LGBT rights movements as well as activists within the LGBT community have used this type of outing as a controversial political campaign or tactic. In an attempt to pre-empt being outed, an LGBT public figure may decide to [[coming out|come out]] publicly first.
-The term originates with the expression "coming out of the closet" (shortened to [[coming out]]) as used in the gay community. In the 1990s the gay media routinely forced celebrities "out of the closet", calling the practice "outing".
+The term ''outing'' can also be used to refer to the disclosure of other kinds of information that might be considered private. In this sense, ''outing'' might for instance be revealing the real-life information online, or revealing the facts otherwise not linked to the person to that individual's real-life friends, family, or community.
-Outing may be deliberate or involuntary. Deliberate outing may be a weapon used by [[vigilante]]s or law enforcement officers to punish the person. Involuntary outing may occur when another person thoughtlessly links a person's nickname with another nickname, known as [[nick linking]], or with a real-life person, or unwittingly supplies information that can be used to locate or identify a person.
+In the culture of hacktivism, the practice of outing private information is called ''[[Wikipedia:Doxing|doxxing]]''.
