Why Isn't The Media Interested In Oprah's Lesbianism?

According to the National Enquirer, Oprah's finally out of the closet.

Yet somehow, the media doesn't seem to be celebrating her coming out party. Perhaps they're skeptical of the Enquirer's reportage (a bizarre position since the John Edwards sex scandal). Perhaps they're suddenly respectful of the personal lives of celebrities (though they were happy to trumpet Mark Foley's sexuality to every available reader/viewer). Or perhaps they're still trying to cover for Oprah herself.

The gay community has been largely silent on the issue, which is shocking. Usually when a celebrity comes out of the closet, the gay media is all over it. When Ellen came out, they celebrated. When Rosie came out, they celebrated. Hell, Ricky Martin just came out, and they celebrated that.

But when Oprah comes out, they don't even report it.

Why?

Because for years, the left media has pushed the notion that lesbianism is the new normal.

Probably because nobody else is either.

MSM: “Oprah’s from Lebanon? Cool!” < totally ignores subject as usual >

I certainly care ....I am having an Oprah is a Lesbian Party on Saturday night

[cherry]

not surprised but don’t care either.....one’s sexuality should be private.....apparently the gay blades in San Fran don’t like privacy...

I am coming out as a lesbian trapped in a mans body! Just ask Mrs. Jazzy!

I feel so LIBERATED!!!

[KarlInOhio]

Because the RNC wouldn't pay even a dollar to see it?

It seems more likely they’re just turning into the men they always were.

Good answer!

According to the National Enquirer....

Perhaps they're skeptical of the Enquirer's reportage (a bizarre position since the John Edwards sex scandal).....

Because the National Enquirer gets like 1 out of 1,000 stories right you're now celebrating it as reliable journalism?

The Washington Post & NYT get a lot more right than that. Doesn't mean I think they engage in overall reliable journalism.

The reason may be more tied to her persona as an urban black woman who pulled herself up to where she is.

Today’s urban black women don’t want to idolize a lesbian.

Guess I missed the 'coming out' thing. The headline says 'alleged'. Where are the facts about this? For years this same 'rumor' has been going around and while I can't stand the person Oprah has become, I'm not going to believe these rumors until there is an 'announcement' by her. Not that I want to hear that but that's what all the celebs do when then want to push their depravity on us.

Smart woman to offend a majority of her viewers after she already said she was retiring. Who made her a billionaire? Will the southern women who supported her still do so, and who was running her school in Africa when the girls were molested.

It’s not like Oprah has been skirting the issue like Ellen and Rosie did for years. She has out and out denied the rumors. She'll certainly look foolish is she has to backtrack at this late date.

[sarasota]

I think if she’s a lesbian, she’ll be the one to announce it, given her liberalism.

[goodwithagun]

The black community does not accept homosexuality. Remember the California gay marriage vote? 49% of whites who voted, voted against it. 80% of blacks who voted, voted against it.

Nice gunt pic of him.

[Michael.SF.]

When Ellen came out, they celebrated

Yeah, what a shock that was, almost as big of a shock as when k d Lang came out.

What has been envisioned cannot be un-envisioned.
