“The Council considers that, taken collectively, the article’s reference to ‘outing’ same-sex celebrity couples, its reference to giving Ms Wilson two days to respond to information concerning her relationship, and its forthright criticism of her for not responding, was likely to cause substantial offence and distress.”

TL;DR 
recently spoke to The Australian
“Basically with the situation where a journalist is threatening to out you, you’ve got to hurry, and some people we didn’t get a chance to tell before it came out publicly. And that’s not ideal.” No one should feel threatened to come out or like they have to “hurry” to announce it. My heart breaks for Wilson, as well as anyone else who’s been in that horrible situation. Don’t out people and let folks come out on their own terms challenge!
