In 1977 when I started my first semester of high school, I had a journalism class which primed me for the school newspaper which I was on throughout high school and was fortunate enough to write for our local newspaper.
Having said that, I was taught as a "journalist" to be objective and stay "middle of the road" so to speak.
With the occasional stories I've done over the years, I did do an interview with one of his co-stars from SNF but didn't ask anything about his sexuality (although I wanted to). However, I did buy a copy of "You'll Never Spa In This Town Again" and the 2009 cruise is listed. I'll be reviewing the book soon, BUT it was published earlier this year.
I really don't care about anyone's sexuality but I hate when things are "glossed over" thanks to programs like Entertainment Tonight where they kiss the celebrity of the week's ass and show them as a Saint.
There's a book out called "Hollywood Confidential" where I think it briefly discusses the Paul Barressi scandal (it also has a who's gay/bi and the hung club in it).
This is my four cents (due to inflation!).
