He only came out as gay yesterday, but already Zachary Quinto has inspired another public figure to follow in his footsteps.

ABC News anchor Dan Kloeffler, reporting on the actor's candid weekend interview about his sexuality, revealed he too is gay as he joked about dating Hollywood star.

Both men have said they decided to speak out after a spate of teenage suicides among gay youth.

Kloeffler's tone on air was light-hearted. 'He's 34, I'm 35, I'm thinkin' I could lose my distraction about dating actors for that one', he mused during his World News Now report on Quinto.

Kloeffler later explained on the ABC News website: 'For the same reason that Zach decided to come out, I too, no longer wanted to hide this part of my life.

'As a journalist, I don't want to be the story, but as a gay man I don't want to stand silent if I can offer some inspiration or encouragement to kids that might be struggling with who they are.'

well, isn’t that special.

[woofie]

(Try this again) Wow ! Hard to believe! This guy is gay?

[old3030]

That is exactly what came to mind as I read this. Hendrie should sue for trademark infringement.

I long for the days when we didn’t know who or what other people were having sex with, and dammit, we liked it that way!!

It worked quite freaking well for Rock Hudson! So, why not leave that part to be a mystery?

IMHO, it is because they feel a need in their souls to assuage their debauched lives by confessing!

The problem: these idiots don't realize that confession to anyone other than the Lord God and asking for his guidance and direction AND (the part most of these mentally challenged idiots refuse to acknowledge) TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SIN is as futile as peeing on yourself to take a shower. You might have knocked off the dirt, but you still stink!

didn’t you hear? the “new spock” actor came out. on the nerd boards, spock is becoming the character NOT to emulate at conventions.

[ExTxMarine]

Just remember, “It gets better.” LOL!

[mrsmith]

“encouragement to kids “

And that quote is considered a positive one!

What a media...

[Bernard Marx]

The new Spock is gay? Fascinating...

It's not logical.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I'm suing you for Photoshop abuse resulting in Post Dramatic Stress Syndrome.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I see a trend. I will have to watch the debate tonight to see if it continues.

[cripplecreek]

I can't help myself.

[RichInOC]

Okay, I had to look up pictures of the guy, because I have no idea who he is.

Now that the homosexuals have everything that they want (the repeal of DADT will give them legal backup for anything and everything) they have to change their message from “It’s inherent and I can’t help it!” to “It’s my choice and I’m proud of it!” Otherwise, they appear to be ill. Just more of the big lie from them. Homosexuality is just partner-assisted masturbation.

[Bigg Red]

I never call them gay. I call them homosexuals and lesbians.

***
I call all of them “homosexuals”, as that is an accurate description for male or female among the perverts. Unfortunately, “victims of same sex attraction disorder” is just too long to use.

[longtermmemmory]

He ASSUMES he is provide a positive example.

A lower life span.
A hedonistic a moral existence
A significantly high odds of drug abuse
A statistical 30% chance of a terminal sex or drug transmitted illness

and SOMEHOW he is able to assume it is a positive example.

[Bigg Red]

Its more likely that most suicides are because the kids do not want to be part of the lifestyle they’re prone to.

***
Perhaps in some of the cases the kid has been assaulted/molested by an older homosexual.

[Dudoight]

Oh for crying in a bucket. Who gives a crap?

[Vigilanteman]

Why don't I feel the need to go on national television and proclaim I'm very fond of having vaginal intercourse with one particular woman?

Other than the fact that Mrs. Vigilanteman would probably introduce a frying pan to my head if I did?

[ArrogantBustard]

ABC == the Faggot Network.

Nothing new about this.

[Bigg Red]

Is it just me and my hubby that think Shemp has lost weight and isn’t looking too well?

As I steadfastly refuse to keep FOX on when he appears, I wouldn’t know.
