: 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.
NO!!! Not at all! By "these people" I just meant like celebrities in general who come out of the closet...didn't mean for it to sound derogatory...prolly should have worded it differently, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with him coming out of the closet...I think it's great and everything, just not worthy of front page news. Sexual preference has never been very important to me, and finding out somebody's sexual preference does not change my view of them in the least. Having 2 gay uncles, both of whom I am very close to, I feel it is safe to say that I am NOT homophobic.
