On Fran Lebowitz...it's disheartening that a woman who has built her career on speaking her mind would hesitate to come out. First, it couldn't possibly hurt her career or surprise anyone. Second, anyone who knows who she is and cares is a liberal who wouldn't give a flying crap.
News of her being a lesbian would be met with silence. Not shocked silence, just the sound of no one caring.

Don't have a desire to sign into Facebook to read a news item posted on this site. I support many websites, but would rather not deal with a site like Facebook, where the PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS wash their dirty linen out for all the world to see (and who cares?).
