It is only the same if each and every AM user has taken a vocal stand against having an affair. Otherwise it is nothing like Sterling or every gay Republican legislator or preacher who has ever been forcibly dragged out of the closet.

I'm disappointed HN has a blanket ban against Gawker links, as the Geithner story there from a few weeks ago has some very important lessons for this story.

In most marriage ceremonies, the couple stands in public (at least in front of the people who care) and makes a series of vows. If that's not a vocal stand, I don't know what is.
