His disclosure - planned well in advance - concluded a speech focusing on levees, "walkable" communities and schools.

And BTW I'm a **********.

Isn't that precious!

I think the first tipoff,Mr Mayor,was when you proposed that anyone who ever worked for the city should be covered 100% for AIDS care for the rest of their lives.

Like I couldn't tell from his pic?

To quote an old Onion headline, “Area Homosexual Thinks He’s Still In The Closet.”

In his picture, he does look very...uh...happy.

I think that might be the kind of grin a fella develops when he's gotten lucky in a San Francisco bath house.

My Gaydar must not be calibrated. How do you tell from a headshot of a guy in a business suit?

"Nobody could really out me before because I wasn't dating," said Cabaldon. "I'm still not dating or anything like that."

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the Gay Culture is that the most devastating thing one gay can do to another is reveal their homosexuality, i.e., 'out them'.

Cabaldon said he decided to disclose he's gay to make it easier for other gays and lesbians wrestling with making their sexual orientation public.

Well, he could've done that the first year he was mayor, couldn't he? When West Sac was still largely working-class conservative. But gays have been flooding into that town for years, converting everything into lofts. And now he's got the votes. And he damned well knows it. What a liar.

It would be news if a guy that looked like that wasn't a homo.

"coming out" will be carried in documentary form on an MTV Networks cable channel featuring gay-themed programming. A crew working for the Logo channel..."

I gotta pay $5.00 extra for the SPEED channel on Comcast cable but I "get" the LOGO channel as part of my package. Just what a good ol' boy from Indiana wants... quality gay themed programming.

Why can't these people just keep their sins to themselves like the rest of us?

We hear that gentrification is "bad" for communities but Christie Hynde (of the Pretenders) cited what you state as a "good thing" about homosexuals and their personal wealth (an Austin Chronicle interview from a daily edition in March 2006).
