about how wholesome life was back in the olden days when he gathered around the old crackerbarrel for a racy game of checkers, when men were men and women were housewives, etc., that's not exactly how he's lived HIS life, is it? I'm sure there are a lot of gay parents who have lived less--as he says--flamboyant lives than he has, with his multiple marriages and putting his children through hyphenated and complicated extended families. How can he be so judgmental when his life as a famous person is so publicly flawed? And I am sorry, but his comments about gay men are just absolutely offensive, even if he does try to qualify them.
