Below is the homosexual magazine OUT’s list of its “Power 50″ of influential homosexuals. OUT calls it ”our first annual ranking of the homos who really make the world go round. These are queers you dont want to mess with.the 50 most influential homosexuals in America.” (PC language lesson 101: they can use words like “homos” and “queers”; we can’t.)
We are intrigued by the fact that the same movement that once cried out for “privacy” and “to be left alone” feels free to publicly declare people’s homosexuality for them (Anderson Cooper, No. 2, and Jodie Foster, No. 43). On the other hand, if OUT is right, it might explain Cooper’s bias in his reporting on the homosexual issue: in a recent interview that the CNN host did with pro and con advocates on a ”gay parenting” story, he blatantly favored the “gay” side in his questioning.
Regardless of whether Cooper practices homosexuality, as a professional he should be completely even-handed in his treatment of this controversial moral question. So, by the way, should the New York Times — Gay Mafia (No. 7) or no Gay Mafia. — Peter LaBarbera

Wow, there are people that didn't know she was a Lesbian?
Been known for years.
Where’s Barry Diller?
Me either. And I really could care less! Who is Chi Chi what’s its name? Sounds more like a stripper.
I did see part of that. Not my type of movie either.
The ever-so-tolerant liberals outed him before the last election, in the hopes of spiking his ability to get the truth out.
The evil intolerant conservatives yawned and said, So?
I don't. Ellen decided to use her TV show to "come out" and then turned every episode into the lesbian adventures of Ellen... and afterwards she complained the media was too focused on her sex life.
Annie Leibovitz is really Sydney Pollack in drag. See for yourself.
Portia could turn me into a male lesbian.
Me, too. I'm not sure what all would be involved in that, but I'd keep an open mind.
Aren't they all...? ;)
Suze Orman! The “all men are financial idiots” woman!?
Oh NO!!! /sarc
Is he gay and if so, how do you know that?
She’s not ugly, and that picture is elegant. But she’s not my cup of tea.
Unless it’s a guy. Sounds like a stripper, to me.
I thought he dated Teri Hatcher? Teri is attractive as all get out, IMO.
Yes, elegant. That’s a good descriptor for that photo.
Yeah. Kinda broke my heart too. And she's a conservababe too. (Not to be confused with the one here on FR.) Tammy did say on one of her shows that she "almost married" some guy. Forgot who the guy was.
Ah Tammy, where did you go wrong? (sigh)
Is that pronounced the same way that Les Nessman pronounced "Chi Chi Rodriguez."
