No kidding. I assume we’ll be hearing lots more from this fellow.

Bttt
The movie you are referring to is titled “in & out”.
It takes place in midwestern indiana. Kevin kline plays a high school teacher, howard, who is engaged to be married. His boss, the principal of the school is played by bob newhart. Also one of his former students is now a famous movie actor who has been nominated for an academy award. This student (Played bt matt damon) wins his oscar and during his acceptance speech, outs howard as gay. This speech turns howards life upside down as he denies to everybody that he is gay.
The oscar speech causes an army of reporters to descend on howards hometown. One of these reporters is played by tom selleck, whose kissing scene is with kevin kline.
-————SPOILER SPACE
After spending the first half of the movie denying he is gay, he finally comes out of the closet at his own wedding where instead of reciting his vows, he utters: “im gay”.
Then he spends the rest of the movie dealing with the fallout including losing his teaching job. Newhart plays his usual nervous, stuttering self. Trying to warn howard that his being gay may pose a threat to Howards job. I dont recall any scene where newharts character joining in the chorus of all the others supporting Howards homosexuality though.
True. So sad that Bob has kowtowed to the 2% and turned away from God. I’d expect a (real) man...especially of his age, to stand up to these activists. Thank God for Phil Robertson...a manly man of God.
GLAAD is showing itself to be a bunch of bullies, isn’t it?
Does anyone remember Anita Bryant?
Bob should just tell GLAAD to “STOP IT!”
he can't...he cannot go against anything that scripture proclaims...he is actually the only official guardian of Holy Scripture!
that's what actors do...they do things that they normally wouldn't do...they kill people, rape people, hit people, kiss people,...they are acting, sometimes they are a king, or a warrior, or a race car driver, or a prostitute...they are ACTING111111
Remember her? I actually met her once. She’s really down to earth.
Did I say they weren’t?
Pray that God will give Mr. Newhart courage and turn toward Him.
The tolerant GLAAD VP of Communication, Rich Ferraro, who thinks he speaks for the majority of the America people. Thanks, but I'll speak for myself, you little elitist sicko. You don't want tolerance, you want everyone to agree with you and if they don't you label them a homophobe.
Mind your own damn business. I don't care what you do just don't expect me to accept it as normal.
How sweet of them to allow Bob Newhart to practice his Catholic faith - a faith they hate - and a God they hope doesn’t exist. Loving and supporting his LGBT friends? Supporting their sick lifestyle? Bob Newhart caved. Coward!
I’m disappointed that newhart would bend to gay pressure over the teachings of his church.
I guess if you want to stay a celebrity, and gay activists tell you to bend over, you spread ‘em.
I haven't and politely posted on his Facebook page that it was a shame he felt the need to bow to the pressure of a vocal minority rather than stand up for the truth.
