For the second year in a row, BetUS, one of the largest gambling sites on the internets, offers odds on "the next gay celebrities coming out of the closet." Odds-on favorites: Sexually ambiguous muscle boy Vin Diesel at 350 to 1.
"Vin Diesel's odds have been slashed only slightly" since the site began taking bets last year and offered his chances at 400 to one. The oddsmakers started taking bets after Details reported the actor said he "preferred dating in Europe" and celebrity-on-celebrity hookups were "a sucker’s bet."
"I don't know," admits Sparky Collins with BetUS. "Vin may take it to the grave."
BetUs is also taking the odds on John Travolta, Peyton Manning, Condoleezza Rice and Jake Gyllenhaal's coming out parties.

Damaging effects of the closet.
I believe that it is especially important today to discuss the damaging effects that the closet has had and continues to have on gay people. Given the current political climate of a presidential election approaching it is time to put “the closet” in some sort of context. It is also time for all of the candidates to step up to the plate and say how they really feel in spite of what the fear the ramifications may be. Gay rights are a civil rights issue that the candidates need to take a stand on without double speaking to protect their political asses.

I used to have a crush on Vin, but now I'm back to Latinos. This fall I'll be back to dark chocolate and the delicious Reggie Bush.
