He has the hots for Maria.

When New York did a "Gay Life Now" issue in 2001, only seven of the forty prominent New York gays asked to pose for the cover were willing. Those big shots may have been gay, and they may have been out, but it just wouldn't do for them to be gay and out on the cover of a magazine. "There was a time when the closet was a necessary safe haven," our pal Maer Roshan, who edited the issue, wrote in an angry 2,000-word essay. "But now, it exists as an anachronistic monument to shame. It's time for our public figures to stop hiding in there — and for journalists to stop helping them." Six years and a month later, maybe at least that second part has come true. Here's a first glimpse at the cover of Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America" issue. (Click here for a larger image.) Those are models holding Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper masks on the cover. Neither, of course, would appear themselves.

Well, I am going to give credit to those who refused to pose for the picture/article as people who didn't base their accomplishments in life on their sexual desires. As for the others, it is obvious they find their only defining trait as their sexuality. They obviously think they got to where they are not on any other bases but their sexuality.
Was that the one known as "the Candyman"? Anyways, it's good that you point out this little fact- that faggots are often mass murderers. Just imagine how many AREN'T caught.
I don't think anyone got it.
I know...I couldn’t believe it. Next, people are going to say that Liberace was gay!
Likewise for Richard Simmons and Pee Wee Herman.
I think it would be easier to list NY Times writers and staffers who are NOT gay. It would be a smaller list.
Ditto that.
James Stewart was gay!!??
“Wall..wall..wall.. that scene with Donna Reed was really acting!”
List and journalists, seem to have a problem with the english language. Since when does the bastardization of the word Gay, take the place of Homosexual in the news. Must be kinda like the word “like” and the recent “went missing” bastardizations. Where in heck is the fifty top Hetero’s list?
I want to find out who they are, so I’ll know to keep them in front of me at all times.
Avenue Q comes to mind reading the list.
They don't want to hurt her chance at the presidency. They'll out her after the elections.
I thought Suze Orman had simply declared she’d never slept with a man. She didn’t declare herself to be lesbian.
Ah.
