Media Take Out starts Rumors of a Don Lemon/Dustin Lance Black Romance

The gossip rag known as Media Take Out has made up  start rumors that Don Lemon and Dustin Lance Black are dating. Why? Well, according to them if two gay guys are hanging out, they are f**king.

Here is their tacky title:
 MTO EXCLUSIVE PICS: You Know That CUTE CNN Anchor . . . DON LEMON . . . Well We Got Pics Of Him And His BOYFRIEND . . . On A GAY DATE!!!

Seriously? What's the proof? Come on MTO, try to get into TMZ league, please. And please (part 2), check out the comments from the dumbass readers

There's more mess on there if you want to see. To be honest with y'all,  MTO's post is just plain silly with a side of stupid. Calling this a date is like saying every dad with his younger son at the baseball field is pedophile.

Get it together, people.

 

Don Lemon spoke to NPR about being a Gay Public Figure

Don spoke to NPR about his new responsibilities as a gay pubic figure and role model.

The new role is one that Lemon seems to have embraced. He said, "I think it's important for me to have a presence there and for me to actually walk in and own it and for all those journalists who are there, to say to them, like, not only that it's okay, but thank you for your support." 

Don has been on scene, holding different LGBT discussions and pointing issues that affect the LGBT community in his interviews. He is also embracing his newly found role and encouraging others to do the same. I'm so proud of him and I hope his story motivates more men of color to come out.

Here's the NPR interview

CNN's Don Lemon talks about his New Book and Coming Out

More coming out news. CNN's Don Lemon is coming out to the overall public. In his new book "Transparent", Don sheds the light on his career and his life.

Mr. Lemon has not made a secret of his sexual orientation in his work life; many of his CNN co-workers and managers have long been aware that he is gay. But he still acknowledged that going public in his book carries certain risks. 

“I’m scared,” he said in a telephone interview. “I’m talking about something that people might shun me for, ostracize me for.” 

Even beyond whatever effect his revelation might have on his television career, Mr. Lemon said he recognized this step carried special risk for him as a black man.
“It’s quite different for an African-American male,” he said. “It’s about the worst thing you can be in black culture. You’re taught you have to be a man; you have to be masculine. In the black community they think you can pray the gay away.” He said he believed the negative reaction to male homosexuality had to do with the history of discrimination that still affects many black Americans, as well as the attitudes of some black women. 

“You’re afraid that black women will say the same things they do about how black men should be dating black women.” He added, “I guess this makes me a double minority now.” 

So why do it? It really came down to the act of writing the book. Mr. Lemon said he had been on a panel a couple of years ago called “The Black Man in the Age of Obama,” and was approached afterward by a publisher’s representative about writing an inspirational book. 

“It was supposed to be a little pamphlet,” he said. “You know: say your prayers; have a good, hearty handshake; say good morning to your boss.” 

But as he began to write, he came to realize that he could not hold back the truth of who he was. He started to pour out the details of his personal life. How he had grown up not knowing his father, how he had suffered abuse by someone close to him. 

I am proud of Don and I hope he inspires others to come out.
