    Yeah, it wasn't exactly a secret that he was gay:

    Nabors said he's been open about his homosexuality to co-workers and friends but never acknowledged it to the media before. He doesn't plan to get involved in the issue politically.
    It's like Anderson Cooper who just brushed it off when he was "outed."

    Jim is having a bit of a problem with revisionist history. He got irate about 15 years ago when an local Indianapolis reporter asked him about his homosexuality and he angrily denied it.

    Who cares?

    I mean, really. Big deal. Gay marriage is now legal in many states, won't be much longer before it's legal in all. And those states that haven't legalized it yet have to acknowledge and recognize legal marriages (gay or straight) from other states... so in effect, it is legal everywhere.

    Anyone who's gay who wants to marry their partner can do so.

    Isn't that the way it should be?

    So why make a newsplash over it? Does he need the publicity that badly? Or is he afraid that too many people think he's mostly dead... is he afraid that if they think he's all dead, they'll go through his pockets and look for loose change?

    No, they haven't. Several states do not recognize same-sex marriages.

    It's how it should be. However, it's not the case.

    So why make a newsplash over it? Does he need the publicity that badly? Or is he afraid that too many people think he's mostly dead... is he afraid that if they think he's all dead, they'll go through his pockets and look for loose change?
    Well, I agree here. It's almost passe'. However, a story is generally ran whenever any celeb gets married.

    All I can say to this is "Goll-eee!"

    Acknowledged or not, the fact that Neighbors is gay has been common knowledge for years and nobody outside a few religious whack jobs really cares any more.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It should be noted he married 2 weeks ago and it's just now showing up in the news -- they didn't seem to be in any rush to get publicity.

    I came up with an idea why and am now throughly grossed-out.
