Are News Anchor/Reporter Bottoms the new Sales Bottoms?

In the old days, the gays flocked to retail. Now they're all running to be on television!

Thomas Roberts, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Steve Kornacki, Jonathan Capeheart, Richard Lui, Chris Cilizza, David Muir, Gio Benitez, Shepherd Smith....

Who else? There are so many!

He's not on the air any more, and quite frankly, I would classify him as more of an InstaWhore.

I worked in local TV news for decades and I was struck by how many of my co-workers were gay, no matter where I worked. I also found it hilarious that so many women threw themselves at some of these guys and didn't know it was a lost cause. I want to point out that many of my gay colleagues were often nicer than the straight ones.

I have often wondered why the business attracts so many gay men and decided that it's a case of hiding in plain sight. As long as you get the job done, no one cares about your personal life. Besides, everyone is too busy just doing the work. And the ridiculous hours can be a valid excuse for skirting social obligations you don't want to be a part of.

R66, I don't think anyone on this board is saying he's straight, I was just saying that his co-anchors on the morning news are often saying things like "when you find the right girl," which indicates to me that he's not out of the closet. I've no doubt they know he's gay (and he may even be out to them behind the scenes) but since they have no right to out him on-air, they just play along.

When he first came to prominence and was outed, he was noted for his tap-dancing skills. And a WaPo piece from 1991 said he was “single, lives in Adams-Morgan, and is 38 but looks 10 years younger,” so he was clearly a DL’r before there was a DL.
