Didn't We Already Know This?
Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory (the show my mom watches religiously but always forgets the name of so just calls it the "other" How I Met Your Mother) is gay, like officially, and I thought we already swept up the popped rainbow balloons after having that party. I'm not serving that on a bed of warm sarcasm either. I know Jim thanked his partner Todd Spiewak (click here to see them in several states of awww) when he won a Golden Globe a couple of years ago, but I thought he already said the words out loud in a magazine or something. I guess not, because everyone is saying that Jim has "quietly come out of the closet" in an interview with The New York Times. High brow!
In a piece about Jim's starring role in a Broadway revival of Harvey, the NYT casually dropped this in:
The Normal Heart” resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said. As the production was ending last summer, he heard that the Roundabout Theater Company was considering a revival of “Harvey” — initially with John C. Reilly under consideration for Elwood — and last November the play’s director, Scott Ellis, asked him and Ms. Hecht to do a private reading of the work in Los Angeles.
The article also mentions that Jim is 10 months away from turning 40. Now that's the real RED SIRENS GET CNN ON THIS news. Jim Parsons being gay is something we all learned in school, but Jim Parsons being almost 40 is the real shock. Jim Parsons looks like a come-to-a-life cartoon of a 5th grader as drawn by Charles M. Schulz. Dude looks eternally 11, so the headline should be: JIM PARSONS COMES OUT AS A 39-YEAR-OLD.
And I know everyone is waiting for Anderson Cooper to casually come out, but he better not do it like this or I'll never speak to the cardboard cutout of him I have in the corner of my bedroom AGAIN! Usually, I'm not really into it when hos come out on the cover of People for a check, but I'll make an exception for Anderson. Andy's coming out needs to be a spectacle! It needs to be some "sliding down the rainbow, resurrecting Judy Garland, unicorn heads exploding" shit! It needs to be an international holiday and Lady GaGa's stupid ass better copy another Madonna song when writing Anderson's official coming out anthem. When Anderson finally comes out publicly to the media, I better turn on the TV and see an infomercial for the commemorative plates with his giggling face on them. It better be like that.

Yaaaayyyy, Jim!!!!!!!!!
I only know this fucker as a character on that show that's on EVERY DAMN TIME I TURN ON THE TV.
Seriously, it's gotta be the most syndicated show in the US.

you ever see the unaired 1st version of the show. No Raj, different Penny, and Sheldon was actually sexually attracted to her. It was really shitty. As to him being gay, who the fuck cares. As long as he isn't raping those bunnies I don't care who he be banging.

IF - I know, so wrong. As to why I posted here and not on FB. Would offend too many people.
MJT - I love TBBT. Sheldon's "quirks" fucking kill me.
This is about as big a shock as Quinto.
I love the reruns but find Jim almost unwatchable in the last season. He's gone from stoic Sheldon to near stereotypical flaming Sheldon. He's just too over the top.

It's the closest thing I've seen to Arrested Development on TV in a very long time. It helps that Buster Bluth is in it, too. My sister-in-law works in Congress and she says that it's scary how accurate it can be at times.

I'm sorry, but I find The Big Bang Theory to be unwatchable. The characters on the show are more like caricatures.
^^^THIS! It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen, and I have a very high threshold for terrible television. I don't find it funny AT ALL.

Cosign X 1000. It's insulting to any intelligent adult.
i think it's pretty funny, even tho only catch the reruns now and then, and I have a VERY LOW threshhold for sit coms, at first I thought it was all caricatures too but I listened to M.E. and gave it a chance and ended up liking it (not that I dvr it or anything but it has its funny moments)

@ NOT IMPRESSED
People always tells me what a great show it is, so I gave it a fair shot. Couldn't do it. When I listen to the characters talk, it sounds more like what the writers THINK geeks sound like/talk about, rather than what they actually sound like/talk about.
Besides, I waste enough of my life in front of the TV already with Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Community (which is hit or miss with me), Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Veep, etc.
Ho hum - like everyone didn't already know.
But you're right about his age - I've always known he and Galecki are both playing characters about 10 years younger than they actually are and that both are entirely believable in them. Hedberg, Nayyar and Cuoco are age-appropriate for their characters, but Leonard and Sheldon look like they could be their peers.

Yes, they got married in the season finale of this season...and it was CRINGEWORTHY because it was so stupid.
I too prefer the the older ones on TBS, and while I do get a kick out of Amy, the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing between her and Sheldon just doesn't work (and not cuz he's gay - his character just doesn't 'work' like that).

My cat knew. And he gave not one single fuck. Which is par for the course, unless food is involved.

And.....
who?
and duh...peep the eyebrows. O.o
The problem is that in order to come out as gay a famous person has to actually say the words. Having a boyfriend, getting married to him or even being seen sucking his dick isnt enough. Remember half of Hollywood is doing those things, but they arent 'gay' according to their PR whores.
