I believe it is known that Howell Raines is not gay. By a process of elimination, does that mean that Gerald Boyd is?

"...does that mean that Gerald Boyd is?"

I've had my suspicions for weeks, but that's all they are. My instincts tell me that, in addition to the other issues concerning Blair, homosexual jealousy may well have played a part in this episode. If litigation arises, I would expect that to come out (so to speak). Was Boyd more than a mentor to Blair? Did Zuza the "gal pal," spend more social time with Blair than Boyd or another NYT wheel was pleased with? The viciousness of the NYT attack on Blair goes way beyond what we saw with Barnicle, Glass, etal. There's something personal about it.

He's married with children, FWIW.
