Supposedly the point of this big Gawker “exclusive” is that Shep Smith — who works at the eee-evil Fox News — is gay. But that is certainly not surprising to anyone who’s ever seen the Drama Queen of Afternoon News in action. Here’s a headline I ran in May 2012:
So, no, it’s not “news” that Shep Smith is gay.
What is news is that a reasonably attractive 26-year-old guy named Giovanni “Gio” Graziano was willing to have intimate contact with that scrawny orange-skinned 49-year-old anchor-thing.
All together now: Eee-eww, gross!
It’s not necessarily homophobia to feel an overpowering sense of nausea at the mental image of Shep’s squealing paroxysms of erotic ecstasy while getting sodomized by his studly boy toy.
Our deepest sympathy to the Graziano family.
Go out of his way? Telling the truth is now “going out of one’s way?”
That’s your religion?
If he wasn’t pretending to be heterosexual, there would be no way anyone could “out” him.
If people who normalize homosexuality are going to vilify anyone who questions their dogma that homosexuality/bisexuality is normal and good, then everyone who has a homosexual problem needs to be outed.
Let society then decide who is right.
Because outing everyone sure is going to bother the conscience of a lot of people – these are the people who want to be perverted and not feel any guilt about it; along with having impunity regarding any and all harm and violence they also do, which remains mostly under raps as well – pretending they are nice (often married) heterosexuals.
same reply as to ARt Deco

[…] Schocker: 26-Year-Old Guy Willing to Have Sex With Creepy Old Shep Smith […]
I am drumming my fingers and rolling my eyes at this point.
People in work situations have a partial and contingent relationship with their co-workers and their employers. It is a breach of manners to treat them as if they were spiritual directors, psychotherapists, or advice columnists. There are lots of things you do not say to people who are not intimates, even if those things are ‘true’.
And it is the same business here. I would not expect newscasters to give viewers a precis of their marital problems, past and present. (Smith’s been divorced, as has George Will, as has Joe Scarborough).

As long as that cretin doesn’t breed.

============
And that is what happens most of the time that people commit crimes and do other types of harm.
People with perverted minds want the mantle of secrecy to enable them to continue to be perverted and to do harm with impunity.
You want lies from everyone about how perverted their minds are regarding sexuality – in every respect. This enables many people to do harm and violence in the area of sexuality – including in the workplace- and to have impunity. In part because they use their “heterosexual/normal” façade as alibis, to get away with a lot of harm done -same as pedophiles. It is very important to know the truth about how sexually perverted the minds of people are.
**There are lots of things you do not say to people who are not intimates, even if those things are ‘true’.**
Evidently we disagree on which set of things should be kept private and which set of things needs social accountability.
** I would not expect newscasters to give viewers a precis of their marital problems, past and present.**
Would you want a married man who brings in strangers to his home to have sex every day to lie on TV and say that he is man who lives a Catholic marriage?
Why do you want to run away from confronting perverts and holding them accountable for what they are? The only reason a man would behave in this way is because people like you are incapable of holding them up to ethical standards for sexuality. That’s why people with a homosexual problem shouldn’t be allowed to lie about what they are.
What you are saying is that you want everybody to lie – so that there is no social accountability – ever. What does this result in? Most people with a sexually perverted mind are not interested in being accountable for anything- and the majority do not go talk to any counselor or therapist. They want to pursue their perverted desires with impunity, no guilt, and they will attack anyone who question them.
Your attitude profoundly enables others to do widespread harm.
No, Alessandra.
1. Lots of people are damaged goods. I would like them to cope with that best they can. There is always a great deal of ruin in the world.
2. Exhibitionism is not a way of coping. It can be ordered to aggression and certainly is a tool for ‘mainstreaming’ certain sorts of human problems.
3. It also complicates human relations. Read the old Judith Martin columns. We live in a world of antagonisms large and small. Manners are a way of coping with them.
4. You do have circumstances where decision-makers have occult interests at stake. Vaughn Walker comes to mind. However, that man’s lack of integrity (one shared by the pretentious bar) is multifarious; his butt buddy is the least of our problems. When your talking about news commentary, it is not that important.
Huckabee on his show last night made some crack about differentiating between Fox’s horrid entertainment department and its news division when this issue came up…
I honestly don’t know what to say about that. He’s one of those celebs I try to ignore whenever possible.
If Walker had been truthful about his active involvement in the homosexual lifestyle at the outset, we may very well have had a different outcome in California with the Prop 8 affair…
I, myself, do not entirely understand Alessandra, but I believe she’s onto to some neglected, overlooked truth here! (I do wish sometimes she would articulate her point a bit more concisely though!)
At this point, I susppose what she’s trying to tell us (and RSM too, perhaps) is that the unexposed homosexual is a snake in the grass in just about every situation…
Now that he’s not hooking up with Katy Perry, that’ll be very easy!
Alessandra asked:
If someone simply does not make a public announcement of his sexual preferences, does that translate into pretending to be heterosexual?
If I actually know my neighbors and friends, I’m going to know whether they are normal or homosexual, without the need to be told so directly. You can tell by with whom they live or hang out or date. It’s only once you get into a wider circle of acquaintances that the knowledge starts to become hearsay or speculation. That isn’t “pretending,” but simply living your life.
Of course it CAN have an impact on their public lives. I recall the deeply creepy scene when Anderson Cooper and chorus boys were discussing what they described as a “bad day” for the prosecution in the Penn St/Sandusky pedo rape trial. They were smiling and laughing as they talked about the prosecution’s supposed troubles. (Keep in mind this was airing live just days before the jury found Sandusky massively guilty.)
What sort of person finds amusement in people trying to lock up gay pedophiles having trouble doing so?
Art Deco (Guest): No, Alessandra.
1.Lots of people are damaged goods. I would like them to cope with that best they can. There is always a great deal of ruin in the world.
==============
Who causes people to be damaged? Mostly other people. The people you want to give free reign to do as much damage and harm as they want and never be publicly accountable.
As it’s plain to see, what you call “coping” is “anything goes” – with complete impunity. Your society is one of no moral standards, no scruples, just a violent sexuality sewer of a society that is continuously lied about through false appearances.
You’re incapable of holding anyone responsible for any harm done in the area of sexuality and relationships.
And is that why you have previously left comments on my blog basically defending the cover-ups of the Catholic Church regarding its sexually abusive priests?
My argument is that sexuality and relationships form a cornerstone of society. Encouraging this cornerstone to rot and having people do any harm they want while lying about it, as is your position, is a recipe for a horrible society.
At this point, I susppose what she (and RSM too, perhaps) is trying to
tell us is that the unexposed homosexual is a snake in the grass in just
about every situation…
===========
Exactly – that is one of the points I am making. In other words, if someone’s mind is dysfunctional, perverted, and warped, it is no solution for this person to pretend to be a normal, nice, healthy person. Lies do not resolve deep individual and social problems.
And bisexuals, who are often married, pretending to be heterosexual, do as much same-sex harassment and other corrupt actions as homosexuals. So it’s not just “homosexuals.” People with a homosexual problem (homosexuals and bisexuals) form homosexual networks/mafias in any organization they are in, and they often put their deformed sexuality needs above everything else. In government, the workplace, and in academia – this certainly includes hiring, promotion, and other types of actions – including punishing people for rebuking their perverted advances through underhanded professional actions.
People take their sexuality everywhere they go, and the more perverted their minds, the more that will influence their thinking and decisions outside “the bedroom” – that is, everywhere two people are interacting in any sphere of life, they each have brought their sexuality with them. Sexuality has never been something restricted to “the bedroom.”
No one is born with a sexually perverted mind and simply trying to ignore that there are many people with a perverted mind will only make the problem worse.
You are on to some neglected and overlooked truth here, and I believe you are right!
