Well, you have to remember two things.

1) this is world where we're in teh midst of a news story about a homophobic preacher having had gay sex and drugs with a male hooker.
2) very very few leading men on television shows who play heterosexuals (and this guy is the lead on a new sitcom) are openly gay.

I think that with rumours swirling around in our political climate, which yu and I are both pretty insulated from stating that he is a _happy_ gay man is pretty important. Newsworthy elsewhere than teh entertainment pages? Probably not, but the necessity of it makes sense.
