Shepard Smith has come out as a gay man in a new interview.
The popular Fox News anchor, who has been with the network since it first launched 20 years ago, spoke about his sexuality in an interview with Huffington Post.
Smith, 52, confirmed the long-circulating rumor when he was asked if it was former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes who prevented him from coming out of the closet.

NOT! Hated almost as much as is Megan Kelly.
WoW! This is news? About 5 minutes after seeing and hearing him for the first time I was positive he was a queer. The only thing I find shocking now is just how long it some others to realize that.
Lol. Lol.
I’m stunned, stunned I tell ya.
That’s a great addition to his resume.
He isn’t “gay”; he’s homosexual. Stop bastardizing that word already.
Where is Captain Obvious when you need him?
“Shep did not come out of the closet, somebody kicked him out of the closet.”
Even the closet doesn’t want Shep!
