If you’ve ever seen him on television, or heard him speak, or read anything about his love of Broadway and the great reviews he’s gotten in Rent, Assassins, and many other productions, then you should not be surprised that Neil Patrick Harris is gay.
I think this recent onslaught of closets opening is a double-edged sword. I’m all for people being open and honest about their lives, but on the other hand, I wish the media and frankly people in general would just mind their own fucking business.
Anyone else remember the good old days of Hollywood where stars were allowed to remain somewhat mysterious? Rock Hudson and Cary Grant managed to hide their sexuality until the end of their lives. Mostly because people knew how to keep their fucking mouths shut.
I’m simultaneously jealous glad that today’s gay youth finally have some vocal role models to look up to. It’s is a very lonely road when you’re the only gay person you know. Well except for Jack on Will and Grace.*
I have had a long standing secret wish that for one week every homosexual on the planet would turn bright pink. I think if the idiots in government and in our churches and in all the so-called Red States could just see how many of us there actually are in the world, and how many famous people, including apparently most of the Republican Senators, are gay, all the debate over gay marriage would end immediately. We’d be a force to reckon with, instead of a silent minority too afraid to shout about the insanity going on around us.
* Um, come on Sean P Hayes, quit dodging the fucking question and come out already. We already know, and your refusal to answer is embarrassing. I realize that I’m lambasting the media for asking, but since they do you shouldn’t insult our intelligence by lying about it.
