21. So Gawker stalks gay couples and outs them now?

If you read the article it's fucking creepy what the reporter did to Shep's boyfriend. Assuming they have the facts right.

Shep is the only decent person on Fox. He's not perfect. How could he be? Look where he's from, what he was most likely taught about LGBTs and politics. But he has come a long way considering all that, to be watchable on Fox. To sound like he has a brain and a heart on that network.

Before anybody jumps on me for South bashing, I was born in MS. I know what I'm talking about from experience. Not from prejudice. My family is still there. They're still deeply religious. Deeply drinking the tea. I still love them. But it is what it is.

Congratulations, Shep. Why is this reported on, though? Dash87 Oct 2013 #6

The irony in the outing is that only people who hate gays will care: ie Conservatives ie most of TeamPooka Oct 2013 #35

Hell, I hope he comes to MSNBC. DevonRex Oct 2013 #46

I won't watch him wherever he goes actually. He's tainted by Fox after all these years TeamPooka Oct 2013 #51

What a cutie!!! bravenak Oct 2013 #22

No clue here. And I doubt if any Foxbots knew. Or he wouldnt have had the highest rated Fox show. ErikJ Oct 2013 #23

Oh I'm sure the foxites are clueless. bravenak Oct 2013 #25

Bad idea to get romantically involved with the hired help, Shep. Sheldon Cooper Oct 2013 #40

He isn't involved with the "hired help." Gio works at Fox Business DevonRex Oct 2013 #47

Remember this? 11 Bravo Oct 2013 #41

Wonder what he was thinking about ? jessie04 Oct 2013 #43

It is politically significant given he is/was the #1 show on Fox News. ErikJ Oct 2013 #57

I don't support weaponizing another person's sexuality. Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #58

Weaponizing? You mean using it as an issue for RW homophobes? ErikJ Oct 2013 #60

Is Shepard Smith an ardent right-wing homophobe? Has he weaponized his own sexuality? Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #61

OK. Obviously a very sensitive issue on a subject I know way too little about. ErikJ Oct 2013 #62

Deleting it altogether would be proof to everyone that your apology was sincere... cherokeeprogressive Oct 2013 #63

Weaponizing a person's sexuality is extremely problematic, regardless of your political affiliation. Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #56

Good for him. PeteSelman Oct 2013 #59
