Dorothy Hamill Comes Out of the Closet as Gay Man

FOX News canvassed several women at Good Housekeeping magazine's "Shine On: Celebrating 125 Years of Women Making Their Mark" event in NYC on Monday night what they thought was the most special thing about being a woman. Figure skater Dorothy Hamill took the query a step further:

"If I hadn't been born a woman I would have certainly been gay," she answered. 

Why? 

"Because I love sparkles and ruffles and color."

But the timing of the news conference also produced a backlash in Annapolis, reviving the image of Gansler as a lone wolf with a passion for media attention."

They're more likely to be bothered by the roar of the engines, but once we're on the way down, that doesn't matter and they just enjoy the view.'"

Johnny Weir Confirms 'Stars on Ice Tour' Snub: 'It's For Real'

Johnny Weir responded to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about reports that the 'Stars on Ice Tour' is refusing to invite him:

“It’s for real. All because I am not family friendly enough. I understand I am a little outrageous but I wish I could perform for the fans...Maybe right now, just artistically and creatively, I’d love to have my own show, with musical acts, like maybe getting Lady Gaga! I don’t like to think there are any boundaries. Anytime you get men in glitter it’s flamboyant!”

Johnny Weir Deemed Too Gay for 'Stars on Ice Tour' Invitation

Sponsors of the 'Stars on Ice Tour' are refusing to invite Olympian and three-time National Champion figure skater Johnny Weir to perform because he's not "family friendly" enough.

Read: Too gay.

GLAAD reports: "To say that Weir is 'not family friendly' would be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is extremely involved with his family. He is putting his younger brother through college, and supports the family financially because his father’s disability prohibits him from working. Weir’s dedication to his family can be clearly documented in the Sundance series, Be Good Johnny Weir, which follows him and his family and friends through his life and career as a championship skater. Weir’s performance and costume style is sometimes considered flashier than those of other skaters, leading to questions about his perceived sexual orientation. While Weir has not officially announced his sexual orientation, he has garnered a significant amount of LGBT fans."
