tv Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons Comes Out As Gay

[Mando]

i'm still waiting for Matthew Broderick to finally come out of the closet.

lol would explain him marrying horse face from sex in the city, man her mere existence annoys me i wanna throw my jimmy chungs at the TV when shes on............

[Rudy]

yeah same! I had to look up the other cast and they are in their 30's!

Well they are all supposed to have PHDs

Big whoop-dee-doo. Why is this news? Someone's sexuality shouldn't make any difference in a civilised society.

We aren't as civilised as we like to think...

But yeah, I don't get this either. The whole big spectacular "coming out" thing seems silly to me. Makes it seem like being gay is only treated as some big flamboyant special crazy thing because people force it to be. I don't see why one's sexuality, gender, race, etc should have anything to do with anything.

If you were shocked to hear that then wait till you hear this... the sun is hot!

[M_Lyons10]

it always upsets me to see things like this making big news. its their personal life let them do whatever they want and leave them alone.

I agree. It just should be a non issue at this point and certainly none of our business. Good for him though being in such a long committed relationship. :)

And I am shocked that he is 39... God, I hope I age that well. lol

Don't people get it yet...

The more you create headlines like these, the more you make homosexuality look 'out of the norm'.

We need to ignore stories such as these and act like they're just an everyday occurrence - funny thing being that they are.

Only then will you achieve tolerance.

Why would this make homosexuality look 'out of the norm'. It's celebrity gossip. Does having a headline of <insert random celebrity> being pregnant make pregnancy look 'out of the norm'?

Why would this make homosexuality look 'out of the norm'. [. . .]

I don't believe I've ever seen an article informing people that a celebrity is heterosexual, but I often see articles informing people that someone is gay or bisexual. The interest in such stories helps contribute to the ridiculous notion that same-sex attraction isn't normal. No one should assume anyone is heterosexual, but people do, and they are thus shocked or interested if they find out a person is gay or bisexual. This must stop.

Good for him. I hope more people start to come out, so that this silly homophobia can be put to an end.

[Singh400]

Not entirely sure why this is "news". But hey, I'm glad for him :)

39 man? WTF, he looks damned good for his age!

[James Rose]

We caught him on Broadway last night, front row center. That man does not look 39! He did a good job.

[Glassed Silver]

Kinda knew that from watching 1 episode of the show. lol.

How come?

Because he has a "certain attitude"?

I tell you, a feminine attitude can mean a totally different thing, too. *cough cough*

I'm sure you would regard me as gay as well then if you met me in real life, I can tell you though that I'm differently homosexual being into dudettes.

(double hint :p)

Big whoop-dee-doo. Why is this news? Someone's sexuality shouldn't make any difference in a civilised society.

QFT.

We should just ignore it.

OR instead generate big headlines whenever a celebrity says he/she's hetero.

Would be a nice counter trend... /s :laugh:

I always thought it was because she is butt-ugly.

Uh yeah, she's just soo ugly. Huh? You do realize she's playing a character, right?

[Rudy]

Uh yeah, she's just soo ugly. Huh? You do realize she's playing a character, right?

To be fair that picture really isn't helping

[Rappy Veteran]

Uh yeah, she's just soo ugly. Huh? You do realize she's playing a character, right?

that is pretty unflattering
