The gay-oriented Houston Voice has "outed" CNN's Anderson Cooper and Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith, charging that they "choose to hide and deceive -- and to protect their incomes and images -- at the expense of contributing important weight and star power to the gay civil rights movement." Managing Editor Kevin Naff claims in an editorial appearing in the current edition of the Voice that Smith once tried to pick him up in a gay piano bar in New York City and that Cooper dodged a question about his sexual orientation in a recent New York magazine interview by saying, ""The whole thing about being a reporter is that you're supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you're in ... and I don't want to do anything that threatens that." Commented Naff: "Does he believe that female and African-American reporters lack credibility to cover stories since their minority status is showing?"

Can't wait for this film...nothing more exciting than two bare chested cowboys in a pup tent...everyone will pay $10 for tickets to that..

But are they eating pudding?

[CaptRon]

Had experience with that many many years ago when I tended bar as a second job.

Isn't that David Folk Thomas? (Excuse the spelling; that's what it sounds like when he reads a news break.)

[Brofholdonow]

Here we have the hypocracy of alot of these people. Our private lives are none of your business, except when we decide for our own selfish purposes decide to "out" someone.

Shep always strikes me as a diva like Elton John or Naomi Campbell. Like he'd throw Starbuck's back in his assistance face yelling, "I wanted the FAT FREE latte!!!"

Why do homosexuals assume that heterosexuals give a crap about someone's sex life? Some of them are just very self-centered, narcissistic people.

They're not outing themselves, they are being outed by others, and it may not even be true (and if not, I think it should be slanderous).

I'm more concerned about finding out that Greta Van Sustern is a Scientologist.

[AmericaUnite]

Weren't they pushing Cooper as the sexiest man on TV?

[Taffini]

I agree, who cares?

that is their problem, they think we give a damn, that we'd get all freaked out and stop watching them

[Txsleuth]

Your scenario regarding your gay friends kind of puts a lie to their protests that being gay isn't only about sex....

I seems like (I don't go out looking for news or stories about gays) wheneven I hear about gay people EVERYTHING is about sex...and I am not counting this stuff about getting "married"..

THAT, IMHO..is a radical left action, more than a gay action----

[sofaman]

ROFL...I'm following the thread and spotted you. Couldn't pass the opportunity up.

Meantime, I couldn't care less who is or who isn't gay. As long as they aren't looking for recruits, what do I care. But the comments are interesting. The Judy garland comment had me chuckling...as did the "burst into flames" comment.

[George Smiley]

With names like Anderson and Shep, I'd say they were doomed at birth! Give a kid a gay name and what do you expect? ;)

There's a guy in my office whose name is Thor.

Now *there's* a name that'll keep your kid on the straight and narrow!

[piperpilot]

One of the tabloids at the supermarket last week had a big story about Condi Rice being gay and being best friends with Harriet Miers. Hmmm . . . .

[add925]

Greta Van Sustern is a Scientologist

Scientology alert!!!!

Any ex-scientologists want to "out" their church's belief in aliens?

Hmmmmmmm? C'mon now, be brave.........

[sofaman]

"once tried to pick him up in a gay piano bar in New York City..."

Author forgot to mention that he (the author) was dressed like Madonna at the time...

[TFMcGuire]

I would like to "Out," myself as a practicing heterosexual.

:)

[George Smiley]

Weren't they pushing Cooper as the sexiest man on TV?

(Practices best Grand Jury answering style:) I don't recall.

If so, do you recall if they specified the target demographic group?

[cubreporter]

I didn't. I honestly did not.

[MineralMan]

"Now *there's* a name that'll keep your kid on the straight and narrow!"

Oh, not necessarily. Lots of "Thors" in leather and rough trade bars.

[eyespysomething]

Its more at others who are trying to push it in my face, not Shep and Anderson. I could care less what they do off the air (to a point). I have no need or urge to know about their private lives. This group needs to get a life, and realize not all gay people dance around in boas and wave rainbow flags. Some actually appear and act like regular people. Shocking.
