I'll never understand the closeted thing, but I've never lived as a member of a reviled group. As has always been the case, if someone wants to play straight, I'll play along. I'll never be privy to their reasons. That having been said - who do some of them think they're fooling? By "some of them, I'm thinking of Liberace, Manilow, Cheban...OTOH, Aaron Rodgers plays straight believably. So what am I saying? I'm OK with who you are, but don't assume I'm a nitwit.
I agree with KWU. I'll never know what it's like to have to make the hard choice to be closeted, particularly in the entertainment industry. I assume they do what they feel they have to do. So, I don't judge those who choose to closet. True, a lot of them aren't fooling anyone, but that's OK, too. It is what it is. (No idea who Chebon is, though.)

It must be an exhausting experience but the stakes are high. I don't get the fascination with sexual preference. If someone is lucky enough to get the job of actor/entertainer/whatever, it doesn't mean their private life is our playground.
Believe it r not, he is@ Sam. He's parading his on again ex GF and doing the P D A thang. He's just kinda creepy in general--and as hetero as Liberace on Ice....
Cheban

Wow, he's in the closet?? Never seen the show, but he was interviewed on something and I just assumed.....
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. Unless I'm having sex with someone, it makes no difference to me.
