Well, I don't know why it's news, but I wish him the best and I'm glad he is finally being honest with himself. In the past, I never tried to speculate whether he was or wasn't gay, simply because I've had that same speculation leveled at me like an accusation by many in my family, most of my life. Being accused of something you're not, whether gay or straight is just not a comfortable feeling, so I would never put that upon someone else. J.
Well, let me edit this to add that I agree with what J. Allen said above me; good for him for having the courage to be honest with himself and with others. The thread bomb is more in relation to the "newsworthiness" (or not) of this revelation.
What is it with celebrities who come out in the most shamed, embarrassed ways? Clay Aiken had to knock up his assistant for a baby to hide behind so he could admit he was gay. Rosie O'Donnell pretends she's straight for years and fakes a crush on Tom Cruise, only to admit she's gay when he's got more money than god. Not to mention the scores of other celebrities that suddenly realize they're gay after their bank account is so loaded that they could buy and sell all of us.
No surprise there. I mean I could tell from 5,000 miles away that Clay was gay. Next Headline: "Ricky Martin is gay." David Archuleta? Not sure.
George W. is gone in January And Star Trek was Cancelled in 1969. so who gives a Flying Fuck,so is his music.
