Basically, my thoughts too.

There’s no reason to believe that these people are actually gay. It’s simply the most awful, powerful accusation you can make against someone there, for the moment.

And I’m guessing that it works, just as red-baiting did here. No proof needed; just point your finger.

So I’d think libel and slander would carry significant penalties.

I wonder if anyone they “outed” so far was actually gay? Something tells me the “Rolling Pebble” (As GayUganda has called it on his blog) was more of a weapon against the political enemies of its funders than anything else. When it really comes down to it, I don’t think this thing has as much to do with gays as it does with power, pure and simple. Like somebody said about red-baiting a while back, if a simple accusation can hurt somebody then anybody with a few enemies or a vengeful mentality is going to be accusing.
