| 71. Yeah well, I know what some will say but Shep was married and to a woman |
|
for years. He is divorced. And forgive me if I take the "he tried to pick me up in a gay bar" stories with s large dose of salt as they are duplicates of others making the rounds about other people. This is nasty garbage as far as I can see. An anchors sexuality or lack of it is none of our business. Anderson is correct, and Houston Voice should STFU. They damage the credibility of gay publications with this. They either must choose to be journalists or tabloid gossips. It is obvious what choice they have made.
