I understand the list is odd and I also get your point about Anderson. This list is just ridiculous! How can a bully like Perez Hilton be on it? Or for that matter, how can a closeted person like Anderson Cooper be one of the most influential gays? WTF! I did not vote but I did leave a comment without using Adam's name in it. I don't think the comments from non-readers all mentioning Adam will do him any favors. (My opinion only.) I did however make a comment about Perez and Anderson being on that list! Just to defend AC being on the list --- he is not "closeted" -- He’s been photographed with longtime boyfriend Benjamin Maisani many times and has never posed as a straight man -- he just has not "come out'. To me there is a difference between denying being gay (Clay Aiken, Ricky Martin, etc.) and not being on the cover of PEOPLE under the banner "I'm gay." Anderson keeps most of his private life very private -- like most people have no idea who rich he really is. Since he has never pretended to be hetro -- how can he come out? JMHO but I hope I live long enough that sexual orientation is a bit like eye color -- something that you can know but that tells you very little about the person. Yes, I know I am dreaming but the whole gay-straight-bi categories seem to be a bit too narrow to describe many of the people I know. Like eye color -- there is infinite variety. What are you if you eyes are greenish with gold centers? Hazel eyed? Yessssssss. I really like what youre saying here!!!!  |

I just checked Adam's charity water page and noticed that the total had dropped since I last looked! I think I know what happened. Awhile back it looked as if someone had donated $5,000, but that's not listed anymore. I'll bet they meant to donate $50 and entered 5000 without putting in the decimal points.

I liked what you wrote about out vs. "not out," Q3. The whole notion seems like such an invasion of privacy, and seems to go to the heart of what nationalglampoon wrote about last week about "gay first" or "gay second." Anyone with a lick of sense knows that AC is gay, why should he have to scream it from the rooftops? The whole closeted/uncloseted idea seems like such a bunch of nonsense to me with this exception: I believe in "outing" people who are hypocrites, such as the Larry Craigs of this world. Otherwise, it seems to me that people should just be able to live their lives how they see fit. Even in the bad old days, it never made any sense. Say, the actor Raymond Burr ... the public didn't know "Perry Mason" was gay, but he lived openly with his lover for decades, they traveled, owned a business, gave parties, went to parties, everyone in Hollywood knew they were a couple. How was he closeted, exactly? The other day another fan friend tried to convince me that Freddie Mercury was closeted. All I could say is that if a little girl in pigtails in the sixth grade in Austin Texas in 1978 knew he was gay, he certainly wasn't doing a very good job of it.   Seriously, the "closet" was a polite fiction, and I'd love it if the notion could just be put in a museum where it belongs. I guess this turned into kind of a rant, but the whole thing just seems like such an insult to my intelligence, I don't have much patience with it anymore. |
