George Clooney is gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But I was really surprised to learn it.


I heard it from a friend whose daughter heard it from somebody in Dallas who is kinda sorta involved in the fringes of show biz, so I guess it's true?
(This last sentence is true.)

I am a few months older than him, and he has way more gray than I do! But, I'm catching up quickly!

in Ohio. Freaking cold.

:brrrrr:

Hey. Have any republicans announced their candidacy for governor this year? Haven't followed much in MD the last few months. Heard about the Columbia mall thing. We lived right on the other side of rt 29 from the mall. My wife used to get her hair done right across from the store where it happened. A bit freaky.

(for you and my family by marriage.) Around 33 was the high today, so we've passed the really bad cold (crosses fingers!)

I haven't followed news about repugs>governor, but will pay attention and inform you.

Yes, the mall thing was freaky, even for those of us who've never been there.

about the governor's race in MD. Anthony Brown (Lt Gov) and Ken Ulman (HoCo Exec) are the democrats, but I have not heard who is running on the repub side.

Here in Ohio, I am not familiar with the Democrat running against Kasich. Interesting, but where I work is infested with teabaggers, and they are not happy with Kasich since he has taken a very liberal and progressive turn the last few months. They were whining that he was going to give the schools here a reprieve from having to make up "weather days". Go figure. All I can do is smile and keep that evil laugh to myself!

I had forgotten that you had family in Ohio.

is such an important matter BUT his privacy should be respected. If he wishes that part of his life to be private it should be respected.


If it is true my wife would be shocked but she would want him to be happy.

that despite all the rumors that he’s gay, he won’t say one way or the other.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/11/george-clooney-gay_n_4420789.html

"I think it’s funny, but the last thing you’ll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, 'These are lies!'" he said. "That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I’m not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a shit."

...I just fell a little bit in love with him. It has nothing to do with the fact that the man is beautiful on the outside. Really.

Seriously, though, people can dislike him all they want. He's a great human being.

I do know he's quite tall...I passed him on the street many years ago near Warner Bros, this was his Facts of Life days...very tall, big hair.

that he had said he was just going to date "everyone" to keep people guessing.

I want to know how to get into the rotation.
