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

I don’t see Hillary’s name.
Regrettably, it's no joke.
“What’s a beard? A gay guy who dates women so people won’t think he’s gay?”
No; the beard would be the woman the gay guy is dating.
I don’t know if there is any truth about those two, but Hillary should be on that list.
I think Portia De Rossi is just mixed up. If she had only met me when I was single. ;)
influential? maybe, but I never heard of most of them.
A candidate for conversion if I’ve ever seen one.
later today! >>>
sure you will : )
Actually after I read it I decided I might not ping it out. I don’t know hardly any of those people and it seems like others here don’t either... But the one about the Pope and not worshipping technology - here I come!
;-)
They all adore each other, and they want to FORCE their “friends” to do what their “friends” have chosen to NOT do. It’s for their own good, you know. The magazine knows what’s best.
Great treatment by the “tolerant.”
He's extremely light in his sandals.
Yep.
Old news.
All I would ask is please wait until Bush is out of office before you try to impress her. :)
You know, it's funny, but the ONLY actress I ever felt an urge to write a letter to is Jody Foster, because of her work in "The Accused." However, due to what you mention above is the reason that I WILL NEVER contact her. The thought that some crazed fan tried doing something to "impress her" impacted me in such a way that I realized that while I felt the need to tell her how wonderful she is, I'm only doing that for myself. The though that I might contribute to what has to be a terrible situation to be placed in is something that I have to avoid. I'm sure that she's well aware of how good she was in that role, considering the results, and I've decided over the years to just leave it at that. I wish I could tell her how much I've enjoyed her work over the years, but I simply can't bring myself to do it.
