You really should check out the Internet column "Sam Garrison's
DOORWAYS" which urges the "outing" of Gary Bauer and Ralph Reed as
closeted gays. It is a blockbuster! The URL is:

This column is cautious and well-reasoned. It is written by a former
Republican prosecutor in Virginia who was the Chief Minority Counsel for
the House Judiciary Committee's Presidential Impeachment Inquiry in
1974.
Another interesting thing is Garrison's repeated use of the term "mixed
gender" or "mixed" to apply to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and
transgender folks. That's a lot better than the unwieldy "LesBiGayTr,"
the misleading "gay," and the archaic "lesbian." "Bi" comes closest,
but has been applied too narrowly. We should all consider switching to
"mixed" when we want one term to cover LesBiGayTr broadly, as Garrison
does.
