: : ..the question is "Who cares?" Is it THAT dry of a news day?

: yeah, seriously...I don't know why these people feel the need to announce it...I can't speak for anybody else, but I for one, don't give a damn!

Because it sounds like you are...I imagine that Mr. Chamberlain found it to be a relief to be able to discuss his sexuality in an interview after so many years of keeping it a secret. I'm not saying that it should be front page news either, but your post stood out when you used the phrase "these people"...it sounds derogatory when you refer to any group as "these people".

I'm sure that's not what you intended, of course, but that's how it came across to me.
