I absolutely LOVED his response to the 'gay rumors' thing...

I love how he said he didn't jump to defend it like it was something that even need 'defending' because he doesn't consider homosexuality a 'bad thing' like so many other people do. He's completely detached the taboo and negative connotations attached to being gay and sees it for what is really is: it's neither a good OR a bad thing, it simply just IS. Gay is gay. It is what it is. Nothing more or less, good or bad. I realize a thread like this is just itching to attract some anti-gay pests ready and willing to stand on their soapbox and proudly proclaim that being gay is some how a vile and horribly disgusting thing, but I felt the need to just get that off my chest and say 'Thank you' to George for being a real man and having the balls to say something like that. Far too many men, even the ones who claim they're 'cool' with homosexuality still consider it something 'bad' and something to be more or less 'ashamed' of and George one of those rare men who doesn't give a flying *beep* one way or another.
