Shepard Smith is indeed gay per the film "Outrage".
Anderson Cooper is gay per the film "Outrage"
I must be the only person who didn't know Fox anchor Shepard Smith is gay. I guess it's because I don't watch Fox Snooze. I suspected Anderson Cooper is gay and always wondered why he wouldn't come out. It turns out it is supposedly related to his CNN contract. I've always suspected Ryan Seacrest a closeted gay and cannot for the life of me what his motive would be to stay in the closet? Do you have to be straight to host "American Idol"? Is Ryan Seacrest gay I would ask? I've learned where there's smoke, there is fire in these things.
I urge you all to check out the exposure of this blatant hypocrisy via this film. I'm not sure if the gay community will embrace this film or not. It's hard for me to say since I'm straight. I wonder if there will be backlash for outing certain people in the film? I'm assuming these people are already pretty much out before the film debuted. I didn't know that 2004 Republican Campaign manager Ken Mehlman is gay. Such hypocrisy considering one of the major platforms of that party is no gay marriage.
The list of Republican faces who have been at the forefront of scandals over the past several years is growing exponentially. Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Charlie Crist and Jim McGreevey. I'm not clear on Crist after watching the film, but the evidence looks pretty overwhelming. Mary Cheney supports the Republican Party even though her father is Darth Cheney, overlord of the party himself. To me, that's major hypocrisy. Mary was a paid political operative for her father and Bush's campaign.
Check this film out. I learned a lot and you most likely will as well. It's well made, in depth and sure to be labeled as propaganda and lies by the right. That's enough to make me watch it again alone. Why can't people just be who they are and not be judged for it? I guess I'm naive in that regard. I judge people by the content of their character, no other agenda. I guess many other people do not. Such is life.

Dammit, I'll never listen to "Your Song" the same way again!
:-D Love ya Elton.
Dammit all!
For the record, I really like Anderson Cooper though.
Anderson Cooper being in "Out" magazine as "the Silver Fox" didn't clue you in to this little factoid?
Wow. ;)
As for Shep Smith, I called that the moment I saw him on TV. My gaydar is strong; and the force is with me.
I'd give you my psychological breakdown of Glenn Beck based on reading his body language and talking style, but I just ate and I want to keep my food down.
And do you remember when he hit that other journalist with his car in Florida? Hilarious! :D
Shepard has to be kidding if he thinks he was fooling anyone.
Rated.
However, I don't believe in outing anyone. If someone chooses not to come out of the closet, then that's his or her decision.
It doesn't matter if he or she is in a position of power. That's their choice.
Is it a good one? Absolutely not. And the reason why is because sooner or later the need to be yourself will be stronger than anything else on the planet.
Give people the decision to do whatever they want with their lives. And such decisions will be awful ones filled with hypocrisy, sadness, denial, and loneliness.
But that's their lives...not yours. So if A. Cooper wants to be in the closet or S. Smith the same, then let them alone.
Outing someone is childish and selfish!
"You're gay!! Ha ha ha! Now, I want you to be happy because I pulled you out of the closet."
Please, spare me the bullshit.
"However, I don't believe in outing anyone. If someone chooses not to come out of the closet, then that's his or her decision."
Oh, you and I feel very differently about this.
I personally wouldn't out anybody - not my style - but I fully support gay hypocrites being outed.

My ability to read if someone's gay or not is at "0" - mostly because I could give a fuck less what anybody does behind closed doors. It' s become a national lurking phenomena which stops with my own behavior...I wouldn't watch this, but can understand why they made it.
as for Shepard Smith...I didn't even know he was alive! I thought he was a mannequin!
:D
I miss HBO for reasons like this. Hypocrisy has no place in politics, but it seems there is more in Congress than in the rest of the world. Fear keeps them in the closet. Fear of backlash from family and friends and their own party, yet they use fear as their favorite political weapon (hypocrisy). Coincidence? Don't know, but it's a really strong coincidence.
Denial is very strong in the Republican Party (more hypocrisy). Rumors of Crist being gay didn't surface very much during his election. I think that was mostly due to Democrats not being willing to sling the mud like the Republicans do. I can assure you that if the shoe were on the other foot, there would have been plenty of mud. So who holds the higher moral ground? It ain't the Pugs. The pugs were too dense to read the signs.
Hmmm, let's see. Lifelong bachelor who was never seen in public with a woman. Another coincidence? Maybe. Anyway, most of us down here suspect that Crist is gay. I don't care. For a Pug, he's a pretty decent guy. At least compared to most of them. When he got married in Tampa, he was picketed by gays for being a hypocrite, so that should tell you something. Can you say, Marriage of Convenience?
Zuma, I love AC too. I've never seen him talk about it. I love NPH too for being open.
Myriad, that is actually why I wrote this. As a hetero male I assume as incandescent said that most gay people would be "outraged" as the documentary is titled.
Exactly Thoth! One is a little harder to hide though. So why hide it?
Luis, I don't believe they outed anyone now that I've seen comments. But, what is the status of Charlie Crist????That seems to be the crux of the film.
Yes he is Douglas. I admire him for working hard when he really didn't have to
Sorry, but Shepard Smith - and I don't know if he's gay or straight and I don't care - is entitled to his privacy and until he decides to make that announcement himself then it's nobody's business. Anderson Cooper makes it no secret he's gay and that's his choice to make. The same is true for anyone - anyone. No one has the right to decide they can declare another person's sexual preference publically. No one.
Just my opinion.
