Streisand effect - bringing more attention to something by trying to ward away from it. Nobody was thinking it until he said it. On the other hand, why is he being lambasted by Stonewall and other people when his comment was very much trying to make sure people didn't carry out a witch hunt? Yeah he put his foot in it but he was trying to help... also think Philip Schofield/whoever told him to do what he did was highly out of order.
