While I can sympathies with the plight of the LGBTQ community, as I have seen family members deal with many of the issues that come with it, I refuse to start asking people to predict the mental state of others when sharing factual information. If the information was false this would be completely different, but it wasn't so while it was a "dick move" it wasn't criminal.
Prett easy to "predict mental state" in this case. These people live in a county where the popular elected District Attorney has announced that the LGBTQ community is not entitled to equal protection under the law. It may not rise to the level of causing suicide, but it is clear that making this information public would lead to severe psychological and/or physical harm for this boy.
Why should that action not be punished?
