It's happened to Becky Albertalli, who wrote a book about how terrible it is to be outed.
It's happened to Keiynan Lonsdale, who starred in the adaptation of that book.
It's happened to Kit Connor, who starred in a show that makes it clear you don't owe people your sexuality.
This list will only ever get longer, because you are weaponising the concepts of authenticity and "own-voices" to creep into strangers lives to find out some of the most personal things you could find.
"Queer actors for queer roles" is a right idea until all you can focus on is harassing anyone who's not stated they're gay. Forcing them to tell their parents, their whole extended family, their neighbours, their old pre-school classmates, and thousands of people who will never ever even see them in person let alone interact with them.
