Not saying that makes it OK, but it is different.
Judging anyone is wrong unless you really look into the situation and get the entire picture. People should be allowed to be wrong so long as they display a willingness to learn and grow. Typecasting Kuzmenko for that action and assuming he's a horrific homophobe destined to commit hate crimes is not a fair position for anyone to take. Yet there wss one person seemingly adamant that this was the case.
