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 was wondering about why no Drudge too (maybe he is not out?). Or what about the Ken Mehlman? Although maybe he isn’t out. He just wouldn’t say if he was gay or not.
They forgot Sheppard Smith, too.
So tell me, what part of Lesbia is she from?
She seemed to get along fine with Matthew Mcconaughey. Is he on the list?
Sad isn’t it? And I just got over learning Tammy Bruce is a lesbian too.
There’s an disproportionate number of Jewish names on that list............
But is Foster more influential than Kevin Spacey? Where's Kevin?
Yeah, it’s almost the equivalent of “outing” Liberace. We’re not exactly talking about a huge revelation here.
The female interns are getting nervous again...
Really - man I can’t decipher stuff like that.
Really?
You're more well informed than I am. I'm at about the 90% level.
Make that 90%.
No offense - I did it myself later in the thread.
I did it to.
Depends what day of the week it is and if its fashionable or not.
51. Hillary Clinton
Maybe I should have said Former Jews.......You can’t be both........
I don’t know who number 36 is, but I must say, that I’m surprised that someone named “Chi Chi” is gay.
