LOS ANGELES - Neil Patrick Harris is gay and wants to quell any rumors to the contrary. "(I) am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest," Harris tells People magazine's Web site.

The 33-year-old actor said he was motivated to disclose his sexuality because of recent "speculation and interest in my private life and relationships."

Harris stars on the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother." He started on TV as a teen, playing the namesake doctor on the series "Doogie Howser, M.D."

Well, this must go in the breaking news sidebar. First some supposed evangelical leader I've never heard of, and now Dougie Howser?

[traumer]

[bonfire]

I wish an actor would finally come out and says he's simply NORMAL.

[mgstarr]

Gee this is such a shock.

[SevenofNine]

[digger48]

As someone who has never-ever watched Doogie Howser...

He's recently been harrassed to "come out" by the same homosexual gossip monger that pushed NSYNC's Lance Bass to do the same several months ago.

Some just can't let folks live and let live.

Neil Patrick Harris says he is gay

Anyone who's ever seen him replies "No sh*t?"

He must be the last person to know this.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

And this just in, My a$$ cheeks are white.

[King of Florida]

It's funny that he says he wants to "quell any rumors to the contrary." Like there was a whispering campaign that he "likes girls."

Also funny how the adjective "flaming" is only commonly attached to both homosexuals and liberals.

[Darkwolf377]

This just in, there's a gum wrapper on my desk, just to the left of my keyboard. It is white, and crumpled.

About as important a piece of news as some actor's sex confession.

[Seeking the truth]

Again, my 3 name rule is proven.

There is something basically wrong with those who use 3 names.

Or those who refer to themselves in the 3rd person.

Same rule applies.

[Chi-townChief]

He still makes that show.

[doc1019]

With all the revelations recently … are we sure? More revelations coming soon to a grocery store isle paper near you. Inquiring minds want to know.

[He Rides A White Horse]

And this just in, My a$$ cheeks are white.

Really, who cares. Somehow, I think my mental filing cabinet will be tossing doogie's proclamation in about 5,4,3....seconds.

[slaymakerpowertape]

That's a shocker. Was Liberace as big of a surprise?

[darkangel82]

It's not like everyone didn't know about Lance already.

[Jet Jaguar]

Freddy Prince Jr.

3 names (sorta)

Went to the same high school as Harris.

[snarks_when_bored]

Doogie digs dudes? Another icon goes down...uh, falls...

[MaineVoter2002]

Why's he coming out in public and saying that? He looking for a date?

I mean, I never heard Rush Limbaugh or Brian Johnson come out and state to a magazine or news network that they're straight.

Does Neil Patrick Harris consider being gay something that is less than the "norm"?

[apackof2]

there's a gum wrapper on my desk...

What favor?
;>)

[aft_lizard]

Freddy Prinze Jr is a concervative along with his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

[MaineVoter2002]

I wish an actor would finally come out and says he's simply NORMAL

Evidentally this one knows being gay is not. Otherwise he wouldnt have felt it was necessary to come out and make this a news story.

[aft_lizard]

Freddy Prinze Jr is a conservative along with his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

[Jet Jaguar]

Nod.

[Darkwolf377]

This "news" sure has caught America by storm, hasn't it? (yawn)

Watching CourtTV today and Rosie O'Donnell's GAY brother was on. Had no idea. Two gay kids in one family...and for all I know, there may be more!

[Chi-townChief]

SUIT UP !!!

[Seeking the truth]

SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH....you're the first Freeper to catch that in all the years since early '98!

"You've got a lotta nerve showing your face around here, Howser."

[CrawDaddyCA]

Gee, didn't see that one coming...

[driftless2]

"Liberace"

In 1959 Liberace sued and won a case against a London paper that stated he was a homo. They couldn't prove it, so he won. And even at that time everybody but everybody knew Liberace was gay.

[newzjunkey]

Apparently his publicist had said earlier in the week, "he is not of that persuasion."

[keepitreal]

Poor Doogie. He must be a Republican to have been outed this of all weeks.

[Ol' Sparky]

Anyone want to place an over/under on his life expectancy?

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Who gives a rats rear end....post this nonsense someplace else.

[Vision]

proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest"

You can't make this stuff up folks

[Stone Mountain]

It's funny that he says he wants to "quell any rumors to the contrary." Like there was a whispering campaign that he "likes girls."

Actually, that is what happened. His publicist said that he was straight, and Harris, who originally didn't want to say anything about his sexuality was put in the position of lying by letting the publicist's statement go unchallenged, or to set the record straight (as it were) and come out.

[dfwgator]

Geez, the next thing you're going to tell me is that Alyssa Milano's brother on "Who's The Boss" is gay too.
