OK, I was REALLY REALLY freaking because I thought Chad Allen was the one who was married to Hilary Swank. Then I realized that's Chad Lowe.

I wonder whether the people they list as bi are actively bi or if they had one same-sex experience and that's being "counted", because I don't think that's the same thing.

I think that's true, however I seem to recall him talking about a wife and a couple of children on the old Rosie syndicated TV show.

Of course that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't gay or bi.

I think you're taking about Eric McCormack who plays Will. He has a wife and child.

I think he doesn't want to admit his orientation because he fears he will be typecasted for future roles. I guess he doesn't want to play roles designed "just for gay guys".

appears that many of Canada's politicians are gay - so it's just a matter of time before gay marriage is fully legal in Canada... Ones that surprised me - Rick Mercer.

I read about Rick Mercer's orientation in the newspaper recently...I guess we Canucks are just very open and "liberal"...time for me to move?

There are quite a few a politicians that are gay in Canadda...Svend Robinson I think being the most well known. But I had no idea about Rick Mercer.

Okay, I'm going to go there. Really, what does what Rick Mercer does with his partner (or piece of the week) in the privacy of his own home have to do with you, personally? It just seems a really odd (and kind of bigoted) statement to make that you're considering leaving the country just because a celebrity is gay.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Way to be close-minded.

Seems a little close-minded to me to criticize someone for her own opinion. She would just take herself out of an area that made her uncomfortable. She didn't say to send homosexuals out. There's a bit of a difference.

little known fact: The governor of Arizona is a lesbian.

Everyone is entitled to her opinion. That I questioned it isn't evidence of a closed mind -- on the contrary, I really want to know the answer, because I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that she seems to be saying that she wants to leave an entire country ("I guess we Canucks are just more open and liberal...time for me to move?") because she knows something about a celebrity that she didn't know yesterday.

Ummm, I found out about Rick Mercer several months ago. There was something in Toronto's Starweek about it when his new show debuted. I'm just sick and tired of the liberal politics in this country, that's all...and I don't just mean the government in Ottawa (and Queen's Park). We don't have any values here anymore.....I'm surprised that people from more conservative countries are moving in.

You're shitting me, right?

She said she'd voluntarily leave the country just because a CELEBRITY and apparently a lot of her countrymen/women are "liberal". It was obvious that to her, "liberal" = "homosexual". Do you know how fucking ridiculous that sounds? This isn't a personal attack to her, but add that to the list of close-minded things she's said so far. It's no secret that many of her views are old-fashioned, so if people choose to criticize them -- then they have a right to.
