The media do love their ‘reveals.’
Anyone who saw Robin Roberts, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Martina Navratilova, Jodie Foster, Jane Lynch, Melissa Etheridge, et al at any stage in their lives/careers could have known they were batting for the rainbow team.
For some reason, we supposed to pretend that we didn’t know, that the big reveal on a supermarket magazine is a surprise and that we are supposed to laud them for....what? If homosexuality is normal, natural, and unremarkable why we are we remarking on it?
we are we = are we
That's a darn good question...
