I should've expanded on my "gut feeling" statement above:
If you pick out a random person in that age group, or a random student at your typical large, "diverse" public university in a left-leaning urban area, you'll probably find someone without too many objections to LGBT things in the world and around campus.
OK, you'll definitely find a good number of people who use "gay" in ways not approved by Wanda Sykes, but the majority of those will find nothing wrong with same-sex unions either. They probably supported (and still support) Obama, use Jon Stewart as a news source (why not--he must be serious, since he's not very funny), and consider the Repressed Religious Right more risible and more dangerous than most anyone on the left.
Even those in his age group who object to homosexuality for one reason or another (I attended a large, left-leaning public university not all that long ago, and I knew a lot of people like that) are probably not going to tape someone for the sake of somehow promoting the general welfare. Has it ever occurred to anyone here to do anything like that for that reason?
It's more likely that Ravi, like many others his age, considers secretly recorded sex acts inherently amusing, and in his case, he went ahead and recorded it. I'd even bet that if no one had found out beyond those whom he wanted to find out, he would've done it again at the next opportunity.
That would be my bet too.

Apparently he did do it again. That's what the lead-in article to this thread is about. A second victim.
