We were discussing Doogie today at work , and the thing I can't get my head wrapped around is how this is a newsworthy thing. I grant you , kudos to him and such for the whole coming out thing - but isin't it a bit much and personal? I'm not by any means suggesting that it remain closeted, but is it really woth a front page article on CNN.com? It strikes me like a person braving the world and the elements to share a truth about themselves, while the vox populi dance in a circle pointing and chanting " He's gay! He's gay He's gay! ". I read the bit about it being a pr move due to rumours and such, but really? Maybe the problem is that I have no ' issue ' with it, and it's a non event for me. To me if you are gay, or otherwise it's just another identifying component of your person - like hair style or eye color. Blue eyes. Blond hair. Gay. Small ears. Round nose. Republican. Wears polo shirts.
It's really that that big of a deal to me. I suppose I'm just odd.
