This story is horrible--where is the journalism? You know, facts, multiple sources corroborating evidence, petty details like that. An "expert" that has counseled over 30,000 people on "Teh Gay"? Um, yeah, way to dig deeper into your clients' lives. He's like the Wilt Chamberlin of sexologists. And that isn't meant to be a compliment.

Question: does ABC run this story now because of Rosie getting sacked? Y'know, to show that they are tough on gays like they are tough on drugs and immigrants?

I'm more of a fan of the completly made up statistics. Like 2-3 million married men are closeted homosexuals. It reminds me of those MTV ads for AIDS prevention where they would blast acoross the screen some number in millions (I think, don't quote me on the exact number) for people living with HIV who DIDN'T know it.

I always thought if the people didn't know they had HIV, how did MTV?

One of my friends insists that the ONLY thing that separates him from straight men is having sex with other men. (He could, being an existentialist, very likely also argue that he's only gay when he's having sex with a man, but whatever.) While I think this is a little narrow, it's certainly a good place to start.

So, housewives of America: If your husband is engaging in sexual activity with other men, he's probably gay. At least a little.

They forgot that gay men have pink blood. Kind of like Klingons.

I like how in the last quote cooking is once again tarred with the effeminate brush.

Tell me again why all the famous chefs are male? I mean, does anyone believe Tony Bourdain or Curtis Stone fare badly in the tail department?

There still could be some benefit to this article. I can imagine some married man leaving a copy of it lying around and telling his wife that if they don't have sex at least twice a week, he might go queer.

This reminds me of the TtP postings regarding wives who didn't realize their husbands were married to other women. That series ignited a firestorm of angry comments from wives who didn't know their husbands had other wives.

Yes, men who go to gay bars are gay. I know this to be true because I cannot drag any straight man that I know, however tolerant, into a gay bar.

Your husband may be gay if you catch him ironing his jeans. That or he is French. Either way you should divorce him.

Ok now hold on. I think some of this has validity. And that is just what it is. Validating someone’s suspicions. I was dating this guy who was molested at a very young age. He is Very good looking, dresses better than most women I know, great sense of style, a total mommies boy, turned to religion 13 years ago, finally broke his celibacy a year ago (after 13 years) he is in his mid forties and I am the second girl he has ever brought home to meet his family. When we first met, I thought he was gay. I asked him if he was and you would have thought I was trying to sell his mother. He got so pissed off with his old school Italian temper. So I kind of blew it off. Needless to say… I have never met a man who couldn’t wait to tear into me orally. He has a problem with it. He uses religion as an excuse to avoid sex….when we do have it….he is a three hump chump…most of the time…and his favorite position is doggy. Now thinking…hmmmm why does one turn to religion for a rebirth…something terrible has happened to them….doesn’t want to touch the u know what….doggy style…….I read this article and my response…Ya see, I knew I was right!!!!!! He is gay and is in denial… thank God I am not crazy.
