Shep Smith comes out as gay (Truncated)

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.

'That's not true. He was as nice as he could be to me. I loved him like a father,' Smith said of Ailes.

The 'love' Smith had for his old boss is why it was so difficult for him to deal with the network's sexual harassment scandal this past summer.

'I trusted him with my career and with - I trusted him and trusts were betrayed,' Smith said of Ailes.

'People outside this company can't know [how painful that betrayal was]. This place has its enemies, but inside, it was very personal, and very scarring and horrifying.'

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.

He isn’t “gay”; he’s homosexual. Stop bastardizing that word already.

“Shep did not come out of the closet, somebody kicked him out of the closet.”

Even the closet doesn’t want Shep!

This is the biggest shock since learing that Rob Halford (Judas Priest) is gay. Who knew?
