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 gave these people everything!” screamed Jim McGreevey, ethics professor and former NJ governor, weeping. “And I don’t even make their list! Uhhh! That’s too bitchy!”
No Matt Drudge?
this list is guaranteed to garner the most awards, acclaims, etc. irrespective of talent by the corrupt leftists with an agenda
Maybe they got it confused with thespian.

I could care less about gays. What I do care about is the leftist clap trap agenda they tend to push.
I don’t even know who 90 percent of these people ARE so I’m wondering how influential they really must be (?). Suze Orman is news to me, but other than trying to help people with finances and such, she isn’t much of a culture warrior. And as for Rosie O’Donnell, I honestly don’t know anyone who pays much attention to her.
Now Ellen.... I know she’s a bit hit with young girls and that’s a bit disconcerting. I do like Ellen though. She seems nice and sincere. I feel sorry for her. I know she was sexually molested by her stepfather.
LOL! He has got to be regretting that picture about now.
They can’t be too influential, because I’ve never heard of most of them.
Imagine how John Hinckley must have felt when he found out. ~ dfwgator
Someone needs to tell him that she's boinking Hillary!™...
Despite the fact he has supposedly fathered children out of wedlock, I have wondered about that - it might have a lot to do with his own father’s career choices.
not in any power any more, his power was in the media’s ability to blackmail him by threatening to expose him.
Odd they don’t mention the prominent FNC plastic anchorman.
The name ‘Hillary Clinton’ is conspicuously missing.
Jodie Foster is a home? Say it ain’t so. She was sooooooo cute back in the day.
They “Out-ed” Cooper? .....That was the biggest open secret in TV land............
You’re killing me!
Too funny~!
That's one of the things that I respect most about Jodie Foster in general. She is very private on just about every subject. I think that I've seen stuff about her at a few benefits here and there, but for the most part, she keeps her personal live out of her art. And I do consider her to be an artist.
First off, I've had a major crush on her since I saw "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (No, that's NOT creepy! I was about 10 years old at the time!) She's a great actress, and her work behind the camera is terrific too (I LOVED "Little Man Tate.")
If she's a lesbian, I don't care (somehow, I don't think I ever had much of a chance with her to begin with), I like her work, and she's never done anything to turn me off. And if she's not a lesbian, I just want to say for the record that I'm single!!!!

Surprised they didn’t “out” Shephard Smith while they were at it.
