No way can a reasonably intelligent man such as him not have noticed that men turned him on.
you think he just suddenly thought after all these years, "i'm going to start trying to take in the arse from now on, once i come out to my family in public. i hope i like it because it'll be a big mistake if i don't"
No, I assume he must have had a gay experience somewhere along the line. When it was somone like Oscar Wilde or Anthony Perkins, they just went and did their gay thing on the side. If that was the case, and I hope it wasn't, then he perhaps behaved very badly and is not brave or virtuous.

It is kind of scummy really, but propped up well with clever theatrics. Frankly, I think it is all between him and his wife and he had no business doing what he did on television. It was corny. Then on some program he deflected with 'It is not about me'. So why the song and dance about you then?

There is nothing interesting in a man being gay these days or for even a lot of days gone. In fact it is all you ever hear. However, there is something rather sad that it takes the probable end of a marriage of 27 years to reach that stunning conclusion.
