Well, who knew that a thread about two celebrities possibly having a ro- or faux-mance would turn out to be so edifying for all involved?
I'm really touched to hear where some of the participants on the thread are coming from with their comments, and reading here has helped me to realize the position of privilege I have, though not aware of it: I get to be with kids/I want to be with kids. It's a huge part of the pleasure of my life - they really do say the darnedest things.
And believe me, with a daughter, it's not
gay men I look askance at. And just to throw out here that one of my daughter's two babysitters since birth is a 70+ year old lesbian, who has been out since time began. I love her, admire her, and trust her.
And if we were to have a poll, I'd vote for "Gyllenspoon."
