    While I have some issues with James Randi in terms of not being terribly openminded about paranormal phenomena, this video is simply wonderful! He's so nonchalant about everything and talks about the differences about being gay as a teen and things today.

    He's also had a partner for 25+ years. Definitely an inspiration.

    That is 81 kinds of awesome :grin: I know celebrities should be allowed some degree of privacy but I can't help thinking that it must really help with destigmatizing the issue for famous people to really own their sexuality and act as if it's no big deal (which it shouldn't be!)
