Doogie's here. Doogie's queer. Get used to it.

Neil Patrick HarrisNipping recent internet rumors in the bud, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris revealed to People Magazine that he is "a very content gay man."

This announcement comes just days after Harris' publicist told reporters that "he's not of that persuasion" in response to a story that Harris had used his influence to land his alleged "longtime sweetheart" David Burtka a role on Mother.

How about that? A celebrity who is "happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say" that's he gay. Between Harris and Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight, this could become a trend.

The only time an actor's personal life gets in the way of enjoying their work is when they shove it in my face over and over again. So as long as NPL isn't jumping around Oprah's couch anytime soon, I will still enjoy all the characters on HIMYM.

Number three will be Wentworth Miller (aka Michael Scofield). I heard the rumor and then when you read any interviews with him, notice how he dodges questions about being single or about his personal life.

You heard it here first.

let me further explain my post above. i was NOT saying that i cannot accept a gay actor playing a straight role, what i was saying was that the "over the top" masculine roles he plays/played in harold and kumar and HIMYM now hit me like he, Mr. Harris', is winking at the camera saying "look how ironic this all is" instead of "wow i'm playing a great character". his other roles in say doogie, or star ship troopers (the most underrated movie of all time lol) i have no problem with.

i guess what im saying is that now his acting on HIMYM plays more like an SNL skit, those who still watch it know that all the players seem to break the 4th wall with the looks they give into the camera during skits.

i you don't agree with me i dont care...at the end of the day its the internet and we will never meet each other in real life.

my 2 cents

It is important for gay and lesbian celebrities to come out because there is still a stigma associated with sexual orientation.Also some many young gays and lesbians still feel like they are "weird". More power to all those secure enough in their self worth to come out and let others know of their existence.

"That sure if an awful big closet those queers got. They're always coming outHow come you never see anyone going into it? They never say 'I've been suckin' dick for 30 years and I'm tired of it! I want me some pussy!'" - Rodney Carrington.

Any time a celeb comes out like this, all I can say is "Well, duh!". Vin Diesel was the only one that kinda surprised me.

David, thank you we now have our third so we can stop talking about someone's sexuality and get on with our lives.
It this really important???

I don't think so. Whether he entertains you or not, it shouldn't matter one way or another when it comes to his sexuality.

Its kind of sad, but gay men have constricted careers even in acting. Any doubt Hugh Jackman would have starred in Casino Royale if he were straight?

For me this will change absolutely nothing... I dont care if he's gay, some of the greatest actors in the world have been gay and they can still play straight roles well!!
