| 'Lance' seems to be a popular gay name. Right up there with 'Bruce'. |

Statistically speaking, if your name begins with a letter in the last half of the alphabet, you have a much greater chance of being gay: for the alphabetically challenged, that means N-Z. I've not seen a scientifically supported explanation for the phenomenon, but it is there, for whatever it is worth. |

I can see where you're going there with Tucker, Rod, Tyler, Ned, Xavier, Vincent, and Winifred, but I disagree when it comes to Nick, Thomas, William, Steve, or Sean/Shawn/Shaun (though having to distinguish the spelling leads to ambiguity/confusion).
Also, with the Flemings, Fleances, Julians, Lennys, Ians, and (the King of All: ) Gaylord, well, your theory just doesn't probe deep enough. |

| When I was growing up, Seth, a local weatherman, was picked up cruising the park. Pity be any boy named Seth. I still snicker whenever I hear the name. |

Oh wait, Satori fits in with the stupid theory. Forget I mentioned that fruit. |

Well, it's because it's a well-known fact that many Australian Philosophy professors are gay...
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could
think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was
particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed. |

I do not see Lance Bass's coming out as anything particularly bold or a sign of the times.
What is bold and a sign of the times is that, from approximately 1998 to the present, George Michael can openly talk about having random sex with men he does not know, and in public places no less, and, moreover, while in a close and public relationship with a long-time boyfriend, and it does not affect his career in any way whatsoever that could touch the devastation that afflicted and destroyed Paul Reubens's career barely six to fifteen years ago (depending on which year or incident you are looking at), who, I believe wasn't even involved in anything "gay," just pornographic...
I do not judge any of these things, by the way, I merely remark that Michael apparently remains untouched by career-threatening scandal. |
