New York Giant Michael Strahan's estranged wife now says perhaps she went too far in hinting that her husband and Dr. Ian Smith are on the down low. Smith and Strahan appear on Wendy Williams to deny the charges. Later, Strahan dodges reporters by going to Crunch, jogging down Christopher Street and dining at Pastis. Strahan confirms his heterosexuality by saying that he is dating Eva Pigford.
· Albany: Assemblyman Ruben Diaz, Jr. has introduced a bill that would nullify gay panic defenses in criminal trials, similar to the California proposal. The Bronx Democrat is the son of Ruben Diaz Sr., the state senator and Pentecostal minister who has repeatedly clashed with the LGBT community. (Thanks Bernie and Andres!)
· Attempting to avoid a split in the worldwide Anglican communion, Episcopalians flip-flop on gay bishops. The new resolution asks for restraint on electing more openly gay bishops and neither conservatives nor liberals are pleased. African bishops applaud the move.
hmmm...Dr Ian has a twin brother? hmmmmmm.
maybe HE'S the gay one ;-)
i kinda figured wifey was pissed and just sligin' baseless allegations, especially if it's true that he beat/hit her.

Strahan confirms his homosexuality by saying that he is dating Eva Pigford--it's a well known fact that she's a lesbian.

Y'all sure her name aint pigfoot. It would make more sense wouldn't it? Never mind, my sense of humor is about 30 years older than most of y'all.

I heard the Wendy Williams interviews and let's just say Dr. Ian and Big Mike weren't all that convincing...and someone named "Darrell" called in claiming to have been Strahan's lover while in college, etc. But really, these two should do what they feel they need to do. The real shocker will be when a professional athlete, especially a Black male, dares to come out while still playing. Sheryl Swoopes, Greg Louganis, Martin Navratilova, Roy Simmons, Esera Tuaolo, and others have paved the way...
