GAY PHILALPHIA
I will say my first reactn was that I did chuckle a ltle b bee I thought ‘what do too gay mean? Look, I know that beg openly gay probably closed some doors for me; I know that some people may have had rervatns about hirg me, but fortunately my work stood for self and I got the jobs.
THE GAYG OF FOX NEWS
They were the first to make sure those old homophobic Dr. When I began my reer the late ‘80s, there were no openly gay reporters or anchors, at least none that I was aware of, and I lived New York Cy. You began your reer only a after works started to show gay people on TV news, much ls hire them.
It was tertg, bee when I got here, I knew Philalphia was the birthplace of gay rights. I remember someone said to me ‘there’s never been an openly gay person on televisn here’ and I said to them ‘what do you mean?
This is 2003, ’ and they said that there had been gay people but nobody has known ; wasn’t broadst out loud. I’d e om Columb, Oh before g to Philalphia, and we had a number of openly gay people on TV Columb. So if somethg was said behd the scen that he was ncerned about me beg gay, I still got the job anyway.
