5. I am not advocatmg ‘outing’ as a practice which, according to Goss, only brings ‘sanctions and terrorism against the outed individual’ (Goss, Jesus Acted Up, p. 153). I am using ‘outing’ as a theological method to be used against closeted doctrines and church traditions which can be considered historically sexually violent and therefore very oppressive.
