Is Incoming “ABC World News” Anchor David Muir Gay?

Ever since David Muir was tapped to replace Diane Sawyer when she leaves ABC World News in September, gossip about his sexual orientation has gone into overdrive.

Kenneth in the 212 reports Muir is allegedly “openly gay in his day-to-day life.” Another juicy rumor claims that he and field reporter Gio Benitez are an item.

Neither of these men are openly gay, but have been linked together after a series of coincidental appearances on ABC World News. Eagle-eyed viewers claim that Gio usually files his reports to Diane Sawyer from the field. But when Muir fills in as anchor, Benitez miraculously appears in the studio. Coincidence?

Gio recently said that Muir is one of his top three “Golden Followers” on Twitter. And unlike Muir, Benitez has no problem being seen in gay bars.

Currently Muir is the World News weekend anchor and co-host on 20/20. But when he takes over on September 2 he’ll be at the pinnacle of his career. But would he come out—going where Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Robin Roberts and Shepard Smith have gone before?

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Of course he’s a flaming homo, he’s a lib, works at ABC News, and had to look at Dianne Sawyer for years. That alone would have turned him homo

It doesn’t really matter to me.. I won’t be watching him, regardless.

ABC is still on the air? Now that’s news to me.

I don’t recall Shepard Smith ‘coming out’

I don’t think I’ve seen it since I dumped tv in 1997. Any TV news I am exposed to in restaurants and airports is usually cnn or fox.

But I confess I saw David Letterman just before he signed off and I felt like Rip Van Winkle. My image of him was still 1997.
