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 don’t 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

Hmm. A lesbian thespian from Lisbion.
Sorta like a transsexual transvestite from Transylvania.
That's all?? I got maybe 4-5 names I could recognize. Guess I don't get "out" enough..........
Silence of the Lambs. Nuff Said.
I haven’t even heard of 38 of them.
What an absurd generalization! And of course you have facts to support that? Yeah, and let the Catholic bashing begin.
Despicable remark.
I was suprised by Jodie Foster.
Two suprises for me. I didn’t think anderson cooper would admit being a fag, and I couldn’t believe all the posters who didn’t know jodie foster is a dyke.
Looks more like Uma Thurman than Jodie Foster.
Now that’s funny.
who ARE most of these people?
“So tell me, what part of Lesbia is she from?”
Clamville.
LOL
Irshad Manji only faced down Islam because homosexuality is subject to death in Islam.
Just looking out for #1.
They also forgot Mary Cheney. You’d think they’d remember it, what with all the times the Democrats mentioned it during the election debates.
47/50ths for me. I heard of 3
The real chemistry was with Foster and Garner.
