Petition Make 'outing' someone's sexuality and/or gender identity a criminal offence.

To make it illegal for people to 'out' someone for their sexual and/or gender identity without the persons' consent. Anyone who does this can be charged with committing a hate crime.

More details

For the LGBTQ+ community, being 'outed' for their identity without their consent and before they are ready is deeply upsetting and is a huge invasion of their trust and privacy. In some places across the globe, this is also very dangerous. 'Outing' someone is a horrible thing to do and should be made illegal.
