Simple math would seem to indicate quite a struggle on her part to get him to simply settle down much less conduct himself (at least outwardly, or for the benefit of the children) in the manner of a Christian man.

[Spacetrucker]

RIIIIIIIiiiiiight.....

[ronniesgal]

who did not know he was gay?
He cannot contain it!
I always figured wifey was ok with it

[chuckee]

I caught a few minutes of this show once or twice. I had no idea what it was about, but, as soon as I saw and heard him enter the screen him, I naturally assumed this Todd guy was the gay character in the show. If there was ever a need for a beard, this guy would be at the front of the line

[MayflowerMadam]

I saw the guy only once — for about 30 seconds in a commercial. Obvious that he was a homosexual. I can’t believe people are surprised.

[Andy'smom]

He was married before. But you are right, he’s no devout Christian.

“f I remember right, MTV’s “Real World” was the first “Reality TV” show.”

Many people watch these shows including members of my family. I think they don’t see things that we see.

[HandBasketHell]

Never heard of the guy or the show.

After taking one look at his photograph, my gaydar was instantly activated.

[Bikkuri]

I still watch Survivor, barely.. but it has become so bad, it is unbearable to most 'normal' (meaning not queer) people, and it has become a tad bit heavy on CRT stuff too.

It is very far from what it started at 20 years ago. Even eveningstar (RIP) would be very disappointed.

[ExTxMarine]

EXACTLY!

I would have been MORE surprised if he had had an affair with a woman!

[CommerceComet]

It is against the hollywood rules to feature a white man on this kind of show unless they are flaming gay

Or a total complete cuck.

[Albion Wilde]

In times past, even a gay man knew how to step up and be a father and satisfy himself within a marriage if he chosen to enter one.

Ask Mrs. Gay Man if she is satisfied. I'll wait.

[Albion Wilde]

Gaydar is supposed to be something that gay people have, to spot another gay person, so if you have gaydar, that means you are gay.

Single women need gaydar if they hope to have a good marriage. Straight parents have gaydar to protect their children. When my brother was in high school, my dad went with him to job interviews at small proprietor-owned shops if there was any doubt. As a mother, I have had to use it when pastors or teachers suggested a field trip or overnighter. Rarely been wrong, either.

[Albion Wilde]

Had a former boss like that. Multiple indicators too

I had one like that years ago. We used to call him "Liberace" behind his back. One of his indicators was that he used to buy a dozen "buns" for the coffee break room, and make a big fuss over the BUNS, asking people, "Do you like BUNS? tee hee hee..."

[Albion Wilde]

“f I remember right, MTV’s “Real World” was the first “Reality TV” show.”

Nope—that came out in 1992. The first aired in 1973 on PBS, An American Family, featuring the Loud family, parents and several children. It was the first reality show, and also featured the first gay teenager coming out to his family, Lance Loud. The show made him an early "gay icon." He also became a meth addict, and would eventually die of hepatitis and AIDS at age 50.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I’ve never seen a single second of the show, but judging by the pictures in the link, I’d say that he has seen one or two up close.

😛😜😛

Lavender marriages are not uncommon and many of them stay married for life.

Many women do satisfy themselves in lifelong and relatively sexless marriages.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

I don’t know who these people are but their pictures give me the creeps. Except for the 16-year-old boy. He may have a chance.

[Sir_Ed]

Five minutes of watching Chrisley prance around made me change the channel. He’s as fruity as Fruit Loops!
