The Gay Thread

Good on George. But how about she didn't come out and say "I am a Lesbian" because there's not a living soul on earth with a pulse who didn't already know that? She came out ages ago. When someone that public is gay, they don't have to make some announcement; it becomes - as it did in her case - common knowledge.

Instead, she did what I think is a much classier way to acknowledge her gayness publicly - she thanked her long-time partner of the same gender on national television. To me, THAT's how to come out - not to make some bold pronouncement - but rather to casually mention your boyfriend or girlfriend when appropriate, in the same manner any straight person would.
