  1. The fact that Jay Leno has been married for a long time proves nothing about his orientation. I have seen nothing that would point to his being gay, though people have claimed he is. Only Jay Leno himself can say whether he’s gay or straight, but being married even for a long time is no indication of sexual orientation.

  2. I don’t know why it’s important to identify yourself by what you do in the privacy of your bedroom. I don’t go around telling people I’m a 70 year old straight woman…. I don’t need a flag or a parade. It’s nobody’s business but your own.
