Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker was recently acknowledged by the press to be gay - do you think this will affect his Prop 8 decision?

I don't think this is an issue; he is a judge, he will be impartial.
The right wing should fear this man - he will be a judicial activist.
He was appointed by the Bush Administration so his vote being swayed by his sexual orientation is highly unlikely.

- This is such great news for Gale Harold and his family, loved ones and millions of fans around the world. He is such a versatile actor considering the roles he has played and it would have been a terrible tragedy to lose another exceptional talent as we did with Heath Ledger. Keep getting well Gale, we are behind you with love.

- Oh good! I am so glad he’s ok
charley Said: October 24th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
- Good news. I was always jealous of Gale, who is said to be straight, for getting to play those love scenes with Randy Harrison.
Richard Jennings Said: October 24th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
- Oh, my goodness! How can this be that Brian is in the hospital?….our prayers are for your continued recovery!
Gary Keizer Said: October 24th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
- Get well soon

- Love and prayers Gale…
  Thanks for all you are and do.
  
  P.S I miss QAF
Trace Said: October 25th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
- I didn’t know that Gale Harold was gay?
  
  I had always heard him report that he was heterosexual and simply played a gay character on QAF. You know – Gay for Pay.
  
  Certainly, good to know he’s getting better but does this really belong on a gay site?
Traceisrediculous Said: October 25th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
- Honestly, Trace, I shouldn’t even respond to your inane comment. Do we really need to spell it out for you ? This story belongs on a gay news site because Gale Harold is an actor who prtrayed a character of great interest to the gay community.
  
  Sheesh.
  
  Trace, please get a life and focus your energy on another website.
Trace Said: October 26th, 2008 at 7:13 am
- Ohhhh!
  
  I will be expecting news regarding the myriad of others that have “played” gay characters, then. (ie: Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Mathew Broderick, Dean Cain, etc)
  
  Sorry, I just don’t see why it’s necessary that someone appear on a gay and lesbian site simply because they “played” a gay character. Yes, I think that there is a place for straight folk in gay site stories, but this is someone that really has done nothing other than play a contemptible gay character.

- Glad to hear Brian (Gale Harold) is improving…always love watching him in different shows…my prayers with you…
