If it's people taking part in public activism such as expressing their views in public consultation sessions, mounting legal challenges, organizing petitions, or lobbying for/against certain policies or decisions then they're not being "outed". They're already out by participating in public life. It would only be outing people if it involved revealing private, particularly confidential, activity. People have a right to do all these things assuming that they're done legally and free of interest conflicts. But in a democracy we also have a right to transparency around anyone special interests influencing governments and the public decision-making process beyond confidential voting or surveys.
