It's not the Fact he is Gay..
You'd have to be a deaf/blind/dumb-ass not to know....
It's the strength it took for him to come Forward, Public, at the Risk of losing Fans, Sponsors, and facing Scorn in a Society that upholds Men to a certain standard, in addition to his rather Catholic Family, and the Huge risk of facing Legalities in regard to his children....
His Closest friends obviously already knew, starting with Robi 'Draco' Rosa, when he subtly sent a public advice in an Interview aimed at Ricky not long ago,
And yes, despite the Fact he was in the Closet and told Barbara Walters it's nobody's Business, he is 110% right, if he were to "come out", it should be on his terms, after he's certain he can handle the backlash...and Support....
I'm rather proud of him and his courage to be public about it Now, that he accepts this part of himself honestly, comfortably, I'm sure his sons will appreciate it in time.
