Of course nearly all of us would think he should get far far away from Faux news where his sexual orientation would not be so much an issue--assuming it is an issue, but that is his choice.

In reality, Smith's tacit support for Obama's recent "evolution" and other pro-LGBT stances probably do more good having him at Faux where there might be a rare opportunity to change a mind.
