I agree with this secret 110%. I have no idea what it'd be like to be outed, but I have absolutely no sympathy for Santana just because I think she's a terrible person. (Which is not to say that terrible people don't deserve sympathy, just that I personally don't feel sympathetic towards her.) She insulted everything about Finn, hit Rory in the face, and used a bunch of racist slurs towards Rachel; by contrast, Finn said one thing spur-of-the-moment, not really all that loudly, and by his own admission it's something he thought everyone in the school already knew. If you asked Finn whether he wanted to out Santana, he would tell you that of course he did not: first because outing someone is bad, but more importantly because as far as he knew, Santana was as good as out, to everyone in the school: Brittany outed her half a season ago on her show, and Santana and Brit were terrible at keeping their relationship secret. So... as far as I'm concerned, what Finn did was not particularly sensitive or smart, but Finn has never been particularly sensitive or smart, so it seemed to just be a very in-character action born from extreme provocation that happened to fall in the wrong ears at the wrong time?

And for the record, since we're talking about the snooping involved in a vicious political campaign, they would have found out Santana was gay from any number of the other sources I mentioned above anyway with quite a lot of ease. In fact I'd say it's more probable than finding out by overhearing it in a hallway, which was just... unfortunate.

"I have no idea what it'd be like to be outed, but I have absolutely no sympathy for Santana just because I think she's a terrible person."

how could you write these two things together with a straight face??

... because I don't believe you have to experience something personally before you are allowed to have a valid emotional reaction to someone else experiencing it. I would never say, for example, that being outed is not bad, or is not as hurtful as being bullied; I would not know this because I haven't experienced it. Sympathy, by contrast, is a personal reaction. For me, at least, it also has more to do with how I feel about a person than how I feel about what happened to them. If it's valid for me to feel sympathetic towards a person who's experienced something I haven't (e.g. being outed, or losing a family member), then it's valid for me to NOT feel sympathetic to a different person for the same.
