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

I think your right.
Check out the chemistry between Jodie’s character and her son in Little Man Tate. It’s there...it’s real. Now compare that to the chemistry between her and Matthew McConnahey’s in “Contact”
If Jodie was truly a great actress we would not be able to identify her lack of Chemistry so easily, which leads me to believe Harrison and Ford and Doris Day are truly great actors !
You never read her book, “The Death of Right and Wrong”? That’s part of what made it so compelling, that she was ‘outing’ her own brothers and sisters...
Sounds like a great character.
Denzel is a true hottie. He’s handsome, sexy, and a very nice human being. AND a great actor.
some of us don’t get out much
My belief is that all those we’ve mentioned who are gay have already been outed. This is a nasty outing on those who prefer not to broadcast their gayness.
Yes, I agree. He’s such a hottie, too, even at his age.
You know who 1/4 of these people are? If so, you have me beat. (I do know who Jody Foster is - but that's about it.)
I recognize her face, and in this part of Brooklyn her nickname is "Hoover" for her work in the parking lots of local Bars. So, no way she's gay!
.
LOL!
Ditto!
At 17 years old, Tammy Bruce was romantically involved with Days of our Lives star Brenda Benet, ex wife of Bill Bixby. In an interview on C-SPAN’s BookTV, Bruce revealed that Benet shot herself in the head while in the bathroom of Bruce’s residence.
suze orman?...who knew...
I loved him no matter what role he played. He is a real gentleman.
Just a minute. They used the “h” word. We can’t use the “h” word without being called homophobe!
Are you sick of the double standard?
old news
Thanks for the ping. I’ll be back at my desk later today!
thanks had not heard that before how horrible.
It does seem to me though that she said it was a choice.
At any rate she is very interesting, fun to listen to, and just says what she thinks.
