Shep Smith comes out as gay (Truncated)

Shepard Smith has come out as a gay man in a new interview.

The popular Fox News anchor, who has been with the network since it first launched 20 years ago, spoke about his sexuality in an interview with Huffington Post.

Smith, 52, confirmed the long-circulating rumor when he was asked if it was former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes who prevented him from coming out of the closet.

'That's not true. He was as nice as he could be to me. I loved him like a father,' Smith said of Ailes.

The 'love' Smith had for his old boss is why it was so difficult for him to deal with the network's sexual harassment scandal this past summer.

'I trusted him with my career and with - I trusted him and trusts were betrayed,' Smith said of Ailes.

'People outside this company can't know [how painful that betrayal was]. This place has its enemies, but inside, it was very personal, and very scarring and horrifying.'

I’m thinking he’s a catcher, not a pitcher.

Yup it ruins “My Old Kentucky Home” when you bastardize the word “gay”.

I have a 50 year old gay friend.

He came out of the closet to years ago.

Everyone that’s ever met him knew it from the time he was 15.

Shepard must be surprising all of his friends.

Kaine appears to be a child molester. Can someone check if he’s been on child molester airways?

I knew he was as gay as the day is long way back when Brit Hume was still considered a respectable journalist.

The day I saw Gutfield stroke the horn of his unicorn coffee mug I knew he was as queer as Freddy Mercury was.

I know, it’s an old joke...

It also ruins the Christmas carol, "Deck the Halls".

I assumed he was part of the “gay mafia in DC along with Obama and Hillary.

You do NOT want to know the secret handshake!

“I’m shocked!” said no one.

My understanding is he came out years ago to many in his business; even had a big party at a Miami Beach hotel.

This is not news.

I used to think he was very funny. His Trump-bashing now pisses me off, but I don’t think he’s a fag.

Well, O’Reilly didn’t talk about his wife, either. Even after he (allegedly, gotta say that) dragged her down the stairs by the hair.
