Would this be a good time for Richard Simmons to come out?

1. Well, there goes my appetite...

2. Wow. You're on a roll. Why don't you just ask him if he's gay?

:eyes:

[LostinVA]

5. Yup... it's getting a bit tiresome, isn't it?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Extremely.

The 12-year-old boys at my dojo are too mature for some of the "jokes" around here.

3. On an A&E Biography about him, it was said that he is attracted to

men, but has chosen to be private with his private life and choose a single life.

I know straight people who don't want to be in relationships, so I don't take this as to mean he is ashamed of being gay, or anything.

4. Out of what? The gym?

:P

6. Don't bash Richard Simmons!

He may be flamboyant, and a huge number of people have a serious problem with that, but he's a damned good person, kind, and he's done a lot to help a lot of people.

:grr:

7. I've tried to hate him, but I can't.

I remember hearing Howard Stern tell a story about Richard coming to his house and was completely out of control and scared the shit out of Stern's family and he had to throw him out. That alone, makes me like him. He can be whatever he wants to be.

8. Sure. Come out and play with us, Richard!

10. Hey!!! Lay off Richard Simmons.

When he damn well feels like it, if he even IS gay...

[bigwillq]

11. Wait. He's never officially came out?

:shrug:

[NMMNG]

12. I don't get it

Is this DU or FR?

[American Jesus]

13. Is it possible to "out" someone who was never exactly "in"??

Considering Richard Simmons usually wears shorts and tank tops, I doubt his clothes are even in the closet.

14. Locking.
