I posted this several days ago on FR, so I'm just going to copy, paste and link it:
"I was shocked to see this cr*p come up on FR yesterday. In trying to chase down where it was coming from, the only internet site I found with a recent discussion of it was the DUmpster. Made me wonder just how it jumped from there to here. Hmmm.
Anyway, there is absolutely zero, zilch, nada verification or confirmation anywhere ever that Sandy Hume was gay. There is zero evidence anywhere that Rep Paxon is gay. This vile hoax was begun (and, I thought, ended) in 1997 by Ann Northrup, who printed the unproven story in her column for the newspaper "Lesbian and Gay New York". She was a vile woman, who acknowledged at the time that she liked to "out" people for political purposes. With this fabrication she tried to tarnish the new (then conservative) Fox News, where Sandy Hume had recently become employed, and two conservative congressmen, Rep Paxon and Rep Gingrich. Other MSM would have loved the story to be true, and they tried like hell to verify it, but there was simply no there there.
I think the DUmpster is trying to float this old story again the same way they wouldn't let the story die about Sarah Palin not being Trig's mother. It's the same thing all over again, imo."

I'm going to ask the admin to consider removing those posts and the link you've used to the vile leftist rag gawker.
The story is some 15 years old, was thoroughly debunked at the time, and continues to spam rumor-mongering about Brit Hume's deceased son, used to try to sling poo at Newt Gingrich.
It really doesn't belong on FR. I'm hoping you agree, LB.
