+1 Really believing something (anything) about the personal life of somebody you don't know personally, despite minimal evidence that it's true, or plenty of evidence which actually contradicts it, is tinhatting. "I think Seguin is gay" falls under that, "I think there are probably gay players in the NHL" does not. The second option is general enough that it's not making assumptions about the personal life of one player.
