you forgot like 1-2 more of his "friends". It's cute that he thinks pretending they are buddies would be a great cover I don't really care, I'm just curious to know if he's the Bottom Queen I think he is

pinky up off the cup = gay

Jonas guy either knows the rules well or is straight.
 
This isn't big news so much because he's gay. (if you've been on the Internet you were probably aware of it.) Rather it's big news because he, a man who refused to talk about his sexuality for years, finally admits it.
 
Of course, most of us already knew this, but happy for him that he finally felt comfortable enough to come out. It's not like he was really hiding it or everything, they've had shots of him out with boyfriend several times in the tabloids.

Grindr and A4A "friends" ;)


EDIT: Also in Taylor Swifts "Picture to Burn" one of the lyrics was like "ill tell everyone you're gay" the receipt can't be more OFFICIAL since they dated. The song was and has to be about him TBH
 
Huge fan of copper. Love him and Kathy on new years eve. He's very dreamy. Good on him for saying the obvious, not like he needed too, anyone who googles him could know
 
Pretty common knowledge that he's gay, just never really announced it like this as a CNN reporter. I don't think he was in the closet.

Anyone who has watched the CNN New Years Eve shows with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin, it was basically 3 hours of Kathy making gay jokes about Anderson while he tries to keep his composure.

For those that did not know he was a gay man, you have absolutely horrible gay-dar.


I pray that I'm half as handsome as him when I get older.
 
Dude, I have been watching this guy since middle school AGES ago (when he reported for "Channel 1" news, a 15 minute long news report that was broadcast to a long list of K-12 schools)

I would have never guessed. He is an awesome guy.

Really?

If I was ever famous I can't imagine I'd ever willingly want to talk about my personal life... even if I was straight.

I'd much prefer to just live my life and not talk about it with random unknown people. It would just seem SO odd talking about who I'm dating with complete strangers.

Not all straight celebrities talk about their personal life either Jay Z and Beyonce refused to publicly acknowledge their relationship for years... even after they were married.

Also much smaller celebrities but Hillarie Burton and Jeffery Dean Morgan kept their relationship, her pregnancy and birth of their child a complete secret until several MONTHS AFTER the baby was born. People were surprised they were even dating, let alone she was PREGNANT and had a child!

And there are probably many more examples of straight heterosexual hollywoood keeping things out of the public eye.

You're confusing sexual orientation and sexual behavior. "I'm gay" is hardly the same as "I'm fucking [Person X]", and to treat it as something more private than race, religion, et cetera is to give in to homophobia.

Our society treats almost everything to do with sex as more private than race, religion and politics.

Why is he forced to discuss his sexual attraction to, well, anything? Just because one of those things includes men? Because he is famous and gay? I don't understand the logic here. No one else is forced to discuss their sexual orientation at all, nor any of their sexual attractions. Why should he be?

Your claims of homophobia as the cause of his behavior are nebulous at best, and your vague assertions of some negative effect of him doing so which props up anti-gay sentiment are even more insubstantial. Please substantiate with academic sources that this is a real thing and has an adverse effect, otherwise you are simply quoting some blogger because what they're saying sounds like something which might be true and is convenient, even though they're simply using the same old tactics of armchair psychologists everywhere ("hey this is vaguely analogous to arguments about W, let's pretend that all actions X give negative meanings to word Y and concept Z! We need to stop people from doing so because I've just said so!").

Maybe he's just a private guy. You're putting an absurd burden of what is acceptable behavior on him, just because he's not acting in the way that you'd like, and because essentially he's gay.
 
I'm glad he felt comfortable enough to share that part of his life with us.

I think he's an excellent role model for people, gay or straight, and I think this will only help people dealing with similar issues.

Random: I wish he'd host The Mole again.
