I get worn out with these celebretards who try to say that they didn't "come out" because they were afraid.
Um?
Gays have been part of our public culture since I can remember. Elton John? Freddie Mercury? Freaking Liberace? I do not recall any of their careers being ended because they were gay. Ellen came out a zillion years ago, and her career took off. Nobody cares about stupid Shep Smith's sex life. And PS, Barry Manilow, everybody already assumed you were gay, on the rare occasion they thought about it at all - no need to make a production out of it.
So Shep's proclamations of persecution are just so much bull####, and typical of agenda-driven Lefties.
