OK, this surprises me. Rock Hudson was shocking. So was George Takei. Right, so who else from my 1960s childhood will announce? Just end the damned suspense. Statute of limitations and all that. And it's a new age too.



OK, I don't see why this got downvoted unless you misunderstood. If you grew up in the 1960s -- which I did -- there was no mention of homosexuality at all in the general culture and especially not to us kids. So it's naturally surprising to wind up in adulthood and to see who has been gay all along.

Anyone who thinks there is any hint of disapproval in this should go read two of my other posts elsewhere: http://mikecane.wordpress.com/2006/11/18/the-homo-fag-queer-... http://mikecane.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/that-funny-that-nas...

And for those who dismiss what Randi did -- it was important for him.
